If you cavity search a river or reservoir, you might meet the business end of a Flathead Catfish! In this episode, we share our favorite anatomical features and what it's like to have your hand in the mouth of this fish (ouch!). Learn what other other critters you might encounter while noodling for these cavity dwellers and how to prevent your gear from going rogue and "ghost" fishing (boo!). Fish biologists Austin Griffin and Doug Zentner from the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation are guests.
