Flathead Cats in Central Kentucky?

[know1]

I caught one in Herrington last spring on a crankbait so there must be at least some in there.

There are flatheads in the Kentucky and Ohio Rivers, and most of the lakes in Kentucky. It has been my experience that the smaller cats are the best eating because the larger cats are too oily and strong to taste good, and the big cats should be released because it takes many years for a flathead to reach 35 to 45 pounds. Flatheads love bluegills. Two years ago I caught a 35 lb cat on a ten inch bluegill. Ususally flatheads like wood, holes behind humps and bowels in river channels.
