It’s amazing how a little fish can turn into a big fish.

Check out these catfish Aaron Hass hauled in from the pond behind his house in Paragould.

These fantastic flatheads weighed 34 and 40 pounds each.

So what’s his secret?  Instead of using stink bait or night crawlers, Aaron snagged these beauties using goldfish.  And, no, we’re not talking about the kind from Pepperidge Farms.

Nice catch, Aaron!
