I believe you meant to say "Flathead catfish are an invasive species...".
If the catfish were "evasive", they wouldn't respond directly to your questions.

Or maybe they are evasive. I never asked a catfish a question because I didn't think they knew much.

Invasive...YES
Evasive...Well maybe

Nice catch and those very large baits will attract the larger fish. Have personally caught them to > 35lbs on limb/jug lines in Ga/Tn on sunnies, so hold on

A great predator and excellent table fare
