    Default Lake Smith gives up 68 lb flathead


    Should be a new flathead record.

    Hard to believe that shallow water lake can produce such a large fish. Most of the lake is 4'-5'.

    They say that the flatheads, blues, and channel cats were stocked to control populations of stunted panfish. My question is have they over done it? How many fish of all species does a fish eat to grow to 68 lbs. Looking at the size of that cats head it could easily swallow a 2 lb crappie or bass.
