Lake Palestine has one of the best trophy flathead catfish populations in the state. Today inland fisheries staff from around the state are at the lake sampling these big fish during what we call the "catfish rodeo."
Tom Behrens has over 50 years experience in fishing and hunting across the United States. Much of this time was spent in Oklahoma and Texas where he became very familiar with the outdoor opportunities in these states. You may contact him by email at: [email protected]
