$1,000.00 flathead caught

[harvey lee]

I heard that the flathead that the DNR released by New Ulm and had a bounty on it was caught by Franklin. Any truth to this?

Was caught two weekends ago by a gal from Franklin. They were able to release the fish, which was a 30 pound fish. If you follow Mankato news, it was hard to miss it. Free Press and KEYC both did storys, which I am sure you can find it on their webpage. The Fish is referred to as Big D if your searching.

anyone find out where they got that Flathead in the first place? Was it on its way back home or? Long way to go I would think.

I'm pretty sure it was going home

dtro- Do you ever fish this stretch of river? By the looks of it you don't need any more spots for quality fish, I think you have that handled. But if you ever decide to come up this way shoot me a email, I would be happy to meet up with you.
