A friend of mine that breeds flatheads says cannibalism is still the biggest bottleneck to raising them them. I assume release is into private waters, not waters of the state which in most locations is now illegal unless you are the state.



really you have a buddy that raises flats thats awesome!! man it still has to be hard t do id think i do have ponds i could add them to but they have some bass in them already but no cats id love to pick his brain on it t ask how tdo it and different methods
