Michigan Record Flathead CatfishThe first time Dale Blakley went ice fishing, he wasn’t all that impressed.
“I didn’t catch a thing,” he groaned.
That all changed last Sunday while fishing on Barron Lake near Niles. He not only caught a fish – he caught a state record – and a monster at that.
With the help of fishing buddies Fred Harkrider and Mike and Justin Wagner, Blakley out-dueled a 52-pound flathead catfish after an hour and 15 minute battle through the ice.

The Michigan Fishing Tournament Information System (MFTIS) is now available to tournament directors for use in scheduling their 2014 tournaments. This application gives tournament directors the ability to view other bass tournaments scheduled on a selected waterbody, so they can plan appropriately.
