Flathead catfish commonly know as "yellow cat" or "mud cat" are predatory fish and will consume bass, bream, shad, crayfish and will often feed on it's own kind. The young rely more extensively on aquatic insects and crayfish than do the adults. Large flatheads sometimes congregate where food is plentiful such as near tail races of dams. They often feed at the surface or in shallow water at night, returning to their residence in a hole or brush pile to rest during the day. They rarely eat dead or decaying matter. That's all I know. Hope I helped:)
