This issue with using cut gamefish you're going to run into is proving where they came from. Most game wardens wont care where you say you got them. Law is law, and unless you happen to have a brother,cousin, nephew or best friend who's the investigating officer, you're likely going home with an extra piece of paper and possibly a bit less hind end.

Those Florida fishing laws are pretty restrictive compared to ours. We can use goldfish, carp, live sunfish, anything except bass, crappie, or trout, for bait.

game wardens r pretty cool here.
lol at 13 i pissed off a game warden i had just bought a castnet and i caught a bunch of baby crappie shad bluegill and baby catfish and i just threw them on the ground by the spillway he came up n said "i didnt see you do it so i cant prove you did it" lol the fish were still flopping around too i was to afraid to grab the baby catfish cause of there fins.
but they dont care for keeping small fish in nets people do it daily really theres so many dinks in the walls of the spillway that they even tell us to kill gar and bowfin when we catch them

I talked to relative who does a lot of river fishing on the White River by De Valls Bluff about flatheads. He said that he hasn't seen any decline in their numbers. He said that you have to fish for them a little different. Kinda like pattern a deer.

yeah i get that but still there is no way that there is as many flatheads as blues and channels in waters that contain both the fact i can go and catch 20 channels and blues in 5 hours u r lucky t catch 3 flatheads even when targeting them 100% i guess nature made it happen that way cause of how much they eat but sucks i keep going o my creek setting out pane poles and i keep catching channels n blues n bowfin dying for a flathead

Oh I think you are right that there just are not as many flatheads to begin with. I guess that is why it is so much better when you catch one.

i guess because if there were as many flats as blues n channels then theyd all b eaten and wede have no fish thats why i wont ever kill a Flathead over 10 pounds cause they need t lay those eggs n hopes of growing more i wish they would protect there fry longer some fish swallow there babies until a certain age then release them i heard if a catfish lays 20,000 eggs maybe 6 will survive in creeks rivers
