Certified Trophy Angler Catches

Alabama Certified Trophy Anglers for Flathead Catfish

Certified Trophy Anglers have had their catch of a flathead catfish fifty pounds or larger or 44 inches or longer certified by the Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division.  (Photographs required of the fish next to a ruler and with the angler, see rules.)  A Certified Master Angler documents flathead catfish thirty pounds or larger or 38 inches or longer.

Matthew Burmeister caught this 52-pound flathead catfish in Talladega Creek on November 18, 2009. This catch earned him a Trophy Angler Certificate.
