Nice Flathead Joe. It’s always good to see you continuing to catch giant catfish.

[@ChattCats]

Thanks!

[@Breezy2018]

I really love creek catfishing. I’m from Northern Illinois where our creeks are not even half the size of yours.

[@outdoorsaddiction1085]

Awesome flatty!!!

[@ChattCats]

Indeed!

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Glad to see you back at that place Joe, you pretty much always catch hogs there , whenever you go there that is, especially when that crick is up! Get er done Joe! 🤘👍👍✌🏻! It’s probably about that time of year for them flatheads to wake up and start stirring, especially down there where you’re at, you’re out in West Tennessee somewhere, ain’t you? Well, SW Tennessee..

[@ChattCats]

I'm in Southeast Tennessee in Chattanooga.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

@@ChattCats - oh yeah, hmmm, I don’t know why I thought you were out in SW Tennessee.

Love it ... caught plenty of turtles... No flatheads up here in Maryland, some blues mostly channels... Good for you Joe🎣

[@ChattCats]

Thanks 👍

[@a1duzit]

Beautiful flathead! I need to get on it

[@ChattCats]

Thanks for watching!

[@christophergainey9395]

Chatt, from where you were fishing in relation to where that fish was feeding from, this is the one time where a J hook would have been better. That flathead was living under that dock

[@ChattCats]

Most certainly!

[@RealisticFishing]

I like turtles... 😀

[@adamstanley1996]

Man that flathead was pretty, it had a big yellow spot on the side of its head, I just love how diffrent each one is.

[@ChattCats]

Yep. They're the best!

[@bradburton266]

Brother....this video got me pumped for my trip coming up April 21st-25th!! I hope we catch 10 more just like it on the 25th!! Nice fish brother!!

[@ChattCats]

I'm looking forward to it!

[@jasongobbell3578]

I fish the Tennessee for flatheads and I have a lot of trouble with turtles myself and I believe you had the same trouble to start

[@reginaholloway8851]

I have a question what time is the best time of year to start catfish and I live in Georgia

[@ChattCats]

Catfish will bite year round, but I do best in the spring/summer.

[@TheJacobb46]

Oh heck yeah man you did get a vlog of the the creek beast

[@ChattCats]

Nah, this is it. Lol.

[@dancrofford927]

Flatheads are the most beautiful badass fish to me in the world. A big time catfisherman with out a net and a scale...cmon joe you know better then that lol

[@ChattCats]

Haha. I manned up and used my hand as a "net." Lol.

[@GarageBoundLLC]

I live in Waterhaven! Been enjoying my Sea Doo Fish Pro. Found a deep hole out the mouth of South Chic Creek yesterday and was broke off three different times on 20 pound test. Would love to meet you and maybe get some fishing in. Would be cool to have a co pilot, as I have plotted some serious holes to go check out on the river.

[@ChattCats]

Very cool! South Chickamauga Creek can get red hot when it's high and muddy.

[@GarageBoundLLC]

Nice fish

[@brandonflick6481]

Tighten your drag. When your reeling down on the fish your drag is slipping and not letting hook turn into mouth.

[@rchilsstandardpoodles8029]

I was going to say 32-34lbs! Nice catch!

Thanks!

Must be nice to have a river system without aligator gar , its dam near impossible to catch big cats in texas because the gar get to the bait first

[@ChattCats]

Y'all have some big alligator gar though. That's a bucket list fish for me.

[@rocco7018]

Nevertheless, what a TANK of a fish

[@ChattCats]

Thanks!

[@philipcallicoat9947]

Catfish are bottom feeders. The bigger they are,the more bottom sludge they have eaten....That includes raw sewage,industrial wastes,rotted organic materials of all kinds..Catching them on cut bait,such as fresh sweet pan fish is like ice cream to kids used to eating beans everyday... My uptake; Eat those scum suckers? Never!!! A nice clean medium sized channel cat is a different kinda fish..Those,I will certainty eat. Nice big flat head....Don't eat it!!!

[@ChattCats]

Yeah I always release the bigger fish.

[@mihaicroitoru892]
