Hiding that right side of his face behind the fish again. Nice fish!

Jake you're a daytime flatty maniac. I'd say more than 1/2 of your big fish have come during daylight hours this year, eh? Was that a morning fish or evening fish?

Roman, nice fish on your end too. Night time bite here, daytime bite there. Looks like they're on a pretty good feed this week. I should get out again. Never any guarantees, other than the only folks that are guaranteed NOT to catch a big one are the people without hooks in the water, like myself!

thanks guys and another very nice daytime Jake!

My friend said that his flathead fought harder than both of his biggest muskys put togethor, (a 43" and a 42"). He compared flathead fishing to bear hunting w/ a bow, extremely intense and exciting... obviously minus the chance of getting killed. grin

Actually I wouldn't discount the "being killed" thing either.

WWG tried to turn a huge St Croix bouy into a hood ornament the other night shocked

Nice fish guys!! I would like another big one here before the season ends....

Calvinist, is that you? Holy smokes I didn't know you were a catman. I've seen your posts thoughout the metro forum for years but rarely on the catfish forum. Have you converted? Welcome to the dark side.

Just looking to expand my horizons and explore new territory, especially during july and august when fishing for other species can be slow. I know cats this size don't come along every day, but literally I had my line in the water for 20 minutes before this beast came along and chomped my bait. Other than this cat I have fished for cats about two hours tops this year. My son Lucas is nine and he really loves catfishing, so I'm sure I'll spend alot more time pursuing kitties. Alot of fun!
