Michigan Record Flathead CatfishThe first time Dale Blakley went ice fishing, he wasnt all that impressed.
I didnt 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 catfish shattered the Michigan record of 49 pounds, 13 ounces set in 2012 on the Maple River. Blakleys fish measured 46.2 inches long and had a head bigger than a large medicine ball.
