Congrats Nice fish, how big was the striper? any size to him?

[Jedhead]

Congrats on the nice catch! Eat all the flatheads you can! Sounds like had a good time.

Thank Thank you.

As far as taste goes it was better tasting than channel, but still debating if it will beat white.

One striper was a baby, probably born and raised in Delaware while the second one was pushing 18 inches.

Both were released.

i kept a small channel from a very clean lake during the ice fishing season and it was absolutely delicious! what are you guys even talking about? what are you eating giant channel cats from one of nj's muck disgusting lakes? hahaha

Agreed!!!

I think a lot of anglers stopped talking about there catches due to the fact that the state wants this exciting and very strong gamefish destroyed. Let them think what they want. Every time I flip a rock at 1 of 2 rivers in September I find a baby Flathead or a swarm of them. I for 1 am thankful that these predators have made it up the river as far as they have. Looking to do my 2nd Flathead trip of the season Saturday night.

See you fellas out there!

TIGHT LINEZ!!!

I saw loads of baby cats last night. Lil one inchers. The one I caught last week on the RR had an empty gut but was full of eggs. Got her on a plug too. Pretty nuts. How big was yours Andre?

I enjoy channel cats from the upper delaware from clean flowing water. Think they taste great but with that said flatheads are by far by favorite catfish species to eat. Blue cats are pretty good as well.
