Bury this thing in the wife's flowerbed. She'll have bonanza flowerblooms for years.

I don't think a 52lb flathead would be very tasty...

In fact, I think it would be downright nasty.

Probably not - just the principle of the thing.

All thoughts of eating the thing went out with the word "catfish". I would have fed it to my cats instead.

Catfish don't taste good after they get big.

LOL!
Several years ago, my husband built a small ornamental pond in our backyard. We spent several months putting native grasses and plants in and around it.
After a disappointing fishing trip, he brought home one 'keeper', and tossed her in the pond to keep her *fresh* until he caught some more.
3 Years later, Bertha would rise to the surface INSTANTLY when my husband's shadow would fall across the top of the pond, hoping for a fat spot minnow, small perch, or even a piece of baloney. (She would also bite the holy crap out of any fingers or toes put in there too.)
We held a special 'freedom' party for her when we bought a house and got ready to move.
They guys on the opposite shore couldn't believe we released a 14 pound bass back into the river where she had come from.
