Caught this cat on a jug on Normandy and 2 smaller channel cats. Fried with cheddar-stuffed jalapeno bacon hushpuppies. Some of the fish even got the hot glaze. And the cantaloupe from the garden to top it off and washed down with a dogfish head IPA.

Heck I'm still frying that flathead, it's a lot of meat, 4 pounds of meat off a 9 lb fish.

Store bought puppies or homemade? Never thought of cheese stuffed puppies.

Looks awesome dude.

Only flathead I ever ate the meat was brown and it tasted like straight up dirt.
Must have been a fluke because I hear all the time how great they are.

How deep were your jugs set? You mentioned in another post you had caught channels on nightcrawlers; were they on jugs too or were you fishing for walleye and caught the channels? I fish Normandy in the spring for cats along the deep banks with bait under a slip float and do pretty well, but I haven't fished since early June. Think it would be worth trying the banks again at a deeper depth? Any advice welcome. Thanks.

I'm not sure but think the jug was 8 to 10 feet of line. I have caught several cats under a bobber with about 3 to 4 feet of line. Also caught one on a minnow near the bottom.
