A flathead is one of a number of small to medium fish species with a notably flat head. Many species are found in the Indo-Pacific, especially most parts of Australia where they are popular sport and table fish. They inhabit estuaries and the open ocean.
Flatheads are notable for their unusual body shape, upon which their hunting strategy is based. Flathead are dorsally compressed, meaning their body is wide but flattened and very low in height. Both eyes are on the top of the flattened head, giving excellent binocular vision to attack overhead prey.
Flathead use this body structure to hide in sand (their body colour changes to match their background), with only their eyes visible, and explode upwards and outwards to engulf small fishes and prawns as they drift over, using a combination of ram and suction feeding thereby improving their chances to catch prey.
Flathead have two short spikes on either side of their heads and on top of their heads that contain venom. The venom, while not fatal, can cause pain and infection for no more than about 2 days. Some anglers believe the pain of the sting of the flathead fish can be reduced by rubbing the slime of the belly of the same fish that caused the sting on the inflicted wound, due to a particular gland on its belly.

the rats had been there, and inside, and in the trunk, and other places I couldn't even see. I wish I had a barn to put it in when I got it home. I left it in the driveway for two weeks and kept "hosing it off" to get rid of the rat s--- smell !

as #8 heads by, a group of whitewater rafters raise their oars in salute from the Middle Fork of the Flathead River to the passing train near West Glacier,MT-8/8/12
Traveling along highway U.S. 2 between Essex and West Glacier affords many nice views of the Middle Fork Flathead River. Glacier National Park is beyond the far shore and a portion of the BNSF Railroad can be seen above the near shoreline.
There are some interesting rock ledges at the far shoreline as well.

Sunrise over Flathead Lake from Polson. I was hurrying to try and get somewhere that I could photograph the sunrise before the sun was well up, and managed to arrive at, of all places, a Best Western with a marina in Polson. There were a couple of hotel guests sitting on their balconies watching the sunrise too, which was kind of neat.

After taking a few pictures I stood on the bridge above west Glacier till it was dark... just soaking it all in. I spoke at length with a fly fisherman who was leaving. We talked of fishing, the Flathead, the Blackfoot River and high mountain lakes.... and the weather- it was perfect.

FWC freshwater fisheries biologists often collect large or tough to handle fish, like this flathead catfish for instance. New techniques are continually being tested to make field work safer for our staff and the fish they study, and one recently tested method was the use of electric gloves. Similar to an electrofishing boat, electric gloves produce a low amount of electricity that temporarily stuns the fish. This technology allows biologists to safely handle live fish and collect measurements without harming the fish or the fish harming itself.

I've always marvelled at those peoples from Africa etc. who could carry great loads on their heads! This lady who was selling beads and jewellery walked about a small town in Lake Garda with her wares on her head. She moved about with confidence, she stopped, started and chatted and it never moved from her an inch unless she was making a sale when she took it down! Bravo!!!!

I was the fifth Eagle until I screwed up the lyrics to a song. Then they kicked me out of the band and erased my name from all the albums.
