Man that last fish looks like a bruiser - any measurements/weight on her?

[Bass Whacker]

I didnt have a tape, it left in my friends boat but I would guess upper 40 inch fish.

[nsnutter]

Shoulda cut a piece of line for the length and another for the girth and measured when you got home Congrats on a nice flat!

I think those were all from pool 2, if I'm not mistaken. I haven't personally caught a flathead on the MN in well over a month now. Probably closer to 6 weeks. Not that I've tried THAT many times -- after every couple flathead skunkings here on the MN I try to go to pool 2 to get a fish so I don't get completely discouraged. I've heard they're starting to pick up lately though.

I have caught two flatheads on the Minnesota in thde past two weeks one was about 20 inches and one was 12 inches 20 incher was off of cut bait and the 12 was off of a frog.

The 12 incher

[Alagnak]

I know you hear this all the time but Gordie it's such a cute little thing. :-)

[aanderud]

Gordie, that almost looks like bait!

I saw a pic from Phil (Mr. Special) yesterday that looked almost like that.

My smallest flathead to date is like 18 inches. But that was on a live bullhead. I bet cutbait or crawlers is better for the small ones. :-)

I'm just a part timer but APC put me on a new PB last night. Combo of cut sheepshead and sucker. I enjoy the catting more and more every year when the water gets too warm for muskies and I'm kinda sorry that was probably my last cat trip of the year, just don't have time to do it all. Hope you get your 50# this month, T - thanks for taking me out.

[Gordie]

Congrats on the PB 50inchpig

Got a new personal best last night. I was getting frusturated, because I missed 3 fish last night and Chris had got 3 in the net, one which was tagged. I was packing up to leave, put the net away, and the clicker started going like mad. It's not huge, but I was pretty pumped as it beat my biggest flathead by 9". It was 35"x23".

[Larry FlatCaster]

Nice Fish ETH!!! Congrats on the PB.

[Gordie]

Had a good night on the river except for the camera taking a dump and my phone camera had moister in it so this is not the best picture.

[reinhard1]

that's an awesome looking cat. good luck.

[mrklean]

Nice job gordie

[bgreen82]

So the majority of these fish are coming out of pool 2 right now? Heading to a few of our sweet spots Thursday night. Now I'm getting excited.

[Gordie]

Mine was a bit farther south.

[Herky2002]

Caught my first flathead today!!! 44" length, 29" girth. The handheld scale said 46 lbs., but I think that must be too high.

I was trolling for walleye and caught him on a crankbait, believe it or not. I was using light gear and it took me 98 minutes to land him!

[dilleyo]

Nice fish.

Went out last night and caught this one. 34X23 and fought like it was a lot bigger than that.

[aanderud]

Nice fish, guys.

Herky, what kind of tracker boat is that?

[motownmasher]

very nice fish. sad to see the stringer.
