I've always really enjoyed fishing the tribs for cats. I did a write up on my blog along with our biggest flatheads we've caught while fishing the rivers. Too many top end fish have been removed from the rivers for paylakes to yield fish of record potential, although there are probably a handful out there. I do my part when I'm on the river in my canoe to cut illegal limb and trot lines and report any major law breakers. We could have a lot more trophy Flatheads swimming out there. Gotta be thankful for what we do have and the chance for a great fight is still out there.
