Is there big catfish there

Samuel Napier | Oct 30, 2017
Jay | Oct 30, 2019

In 30 + years of fishing at CJ Brown reservoir I've never seen or caught a flathead catfish. I've caught blues and all kinds of channel catfish, walleye, perch, crappie, bluegill, carp, but never a flathead. Don't think Clark lake has any either. Way too shallow.
