  • Flathead catfish have been my favorite species of catfish to catch for years. Here are some of the techniques and catfish rigs that I use to find them and catch them.
    Special thanks to Steve Douglas The Catfish Dude for allowing me to use his diagrams. Check out Steve's channel at: / akwalung

    This is hands down your best video. Everyone is caught up with the gear and looking the part. An easy setup with the proper bait is a great start but understanding your target species is monumental. I think you really helped a lot of fishermen and women with this video. Great job 👍

      Wow Chris what an amazing explanation! What truly unique way to provide a visual sense of everything. I don’t know how I had missed this one. Thank you !

    excellent way of giving examples about how they feed.This will help a bunch of people catch their bucket list fish for sure.Thanks for giving your time.

    This is the best video explaining how to fish for flatheads based on the position of their eyes an how their jaw is built. Your video is also short and concise. I greatly appreciate g to he info.

    Than=t was an excellent video. Bee targeting flatheads for two decades and everything you said is exactly true about targeting flatheads on structure. This video really allowed me to put two and two together.

    This is the best demonstration I've seen on explaining this. My guess was wrong on the 2 spots where they would set. Thank you Kris for this demonstration. I had never really thought about the under bite on the shovel heads before. Awesome video and I will definitely be recommending this to people

    Kris you make it look easy In Northwest Texas I remember a Small creek that certain times of the year We caught those big yellow cats like that . That's where I kinda respected what you said about releasing those huge & yes sir I'm talking 95lbers & up back into the water . Although that particular ranch has since sold to a new owner & I haven't fished that creek in 20 yrs The memories of those huge cats & the times I shared with the older generation are Priceless & I miss those guys Tight lines my good friend .

    You did an awesome job teaching here! 👏 with the noodles for visuals and so cussing the biology of the flathead you really make it clear why putting baits on bottom in certain areas don’t get seen. Bravo 👏

    This video was very helpful to me thank you for breaking it down in ways i can understand and grasp the concept of it I've been extensively researching how to target and catch flatheads and in a sense there somewhat similar to bass but not if that makes sense there a predator instead of a scavenger

    Greetings Kris,
    Thanks for sharing your thoughts on catching more and bigger Flatheads.
    I scuba dive and gotten to observe the behaviour of many species of fish but never Flatheads that needs to be put on my bucket list. It's a bit to muddy for that in are rivers here in Texas you might be able to see your hand in front of your face 😂. It's looks like I'll need to order some of your muddy river bobbers along with the two Flathead rods I'm going to be ordering with my stimulus check moneys in March. I hooked into a couple of monster Flatheads last year and did not have enough rod too prevent them from getting back to the fallen trees that they were living in we are going to fix that problem this spring 😜👍👍.
    Thanks again for the information
    Teaching others how to catch fish is wonderful gift I love doing the same thing. God bless you and your family and have a wonderful weekend my Catfishing Brother from another mother. Tite lines and Big Cats along with much peace and love from northeast Texas.
    Warm regards
    Roger
