Nothing says love like a flathead

Marsha Bentley and a 30-pound flathead

Marsha Bentley of Newcastle passed along a note and photo from her recent Valentine’s Day experience on Fort Cobb Lake.

Her husband took her fishing on Valentine’s Day and her prize was a 30-pound flathead catfish on a rod and reel.

“He told me I was going to catch something but I never expected this,” she said. “It took me a while to get in the boat but I managed. His friends are pretty jealous. He’s pretty proud of me and this was the best Valentine’s Day present ever.”

Why couldn’t I have met a woman who would have been happy with a catfish for Valentine’s Day? Oops, I hope my wife doesn’t read this!

I’m sure there are some women who would love to go out and have a catfish dinner.

That might work!!!!!!!!!!

Woo hoo!!!! Great catch, I know Bobby is jealous!!

That’s cool! You can have the fish catching crown, you’d have to earn one in pool!
