My first Flathead

I was casting out a jig head with a chunk of crawler on a slip bobber rig set to about 15” and letting it drift in the current and WOOSH down went the bobber I set the hook and low and behold a 31” flathead my first! I took a quick pic and got her back in the water. She said thanks by splashing me in the face as she swam away.

I used to fish there quite a bit 30 years ago. Those fish are a great battle on light tackle......keep it up and you may end up needing a pair of your Mom's gloves tho grin

The place looks clean too...that's different.

Ya it's nice spot until the sheephead and the catch it keep it guys show up if you get my drift. I was down there today I saw a guy catch a small 15"-20" flat on a mimic minnow and yes he kept it, but when I caught mine you should have seen the look on there face when I put them back in the river priceless.

Yep I got a "I will take that" last year with a 30lber caught from shore. After the release I just explained things and my partner did also.

I guess I have no concern with anyone keeping a 15-20" flat. I guess perfect size for eating. The over 20lb flats is where I would try talking. In the end it is all you can do. Spread the word!
