45 Pound Flathead Catch and Release

A collection of video and photos taken during some over night catfishing trips on the Waccamaw and Pee Dee rivers in South Carolina near Myrtle Beach.
The trips were highlighted by the catch and release of a 45 pound Flathead catfish. He took off about 60 feet of line while diving for the bottom. I worked him to the top and he saw us and made another short run before tiring out.
We caught about 100 pounds of blues' channels and flatheads on this trip. 2008
Hope you enjoy
