The Schuylkill River that runs through Philadelphia might not be the prettiest (or the cleanest) stream on the East Coast, but it kicked out one of the biggest flathead catfish ever seen in Pennsylvania on Sunday.⁠ ⁠ Local fisherman Daniel Brown caught the huge flathead just blocks from where he lives in South Philly, and he says it would have broken the state record had he gotten it weighed on a certified scale and verified by officials. Instead, he released the 70-plus-pound catfish back into the river and settled for a new personal best.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #catfish #catfishing #catfishfishing #fishing #fishingtrip #fishingseason #flathead #flatheadcatfish #conservation #pennsylvania #outdoors #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: Daniel Brown⁠ Story by: dac.collins
