[QUOTE="juggernot, post: 302841, member: 10919"] These fish were stocked in a small farm pond to help clean the muddy water. The farmer was unaware and we thought they were flathead catfish as we saw glimpses of them swimming slowly while they filterfeed. They would stir up the bottom while feeding making the pond more dirty and scared the panfish the farmer was fishing for. This one was caught accidently while I reeled in a catfish rig and hooked it in it's open mouth. I snagged another larger one w a weighted treblehook a few days later and both fish took 20+ mins to land. The second fish was released into the farmers brothers pond and it swam on the surface for a while looking like a freshwater shark and scaring the crap out of the ducks!! We visited the pond stockers farm and saw some of these fish that looked 5'+ long and maybe 100lbs!! It's to bad they are a nuisance and filterfeed as they are a ball to catch on rod and reel.
