daryl_s Report post Posted August 24, 2009 My dad emailed me pictures from his latest fishing trip. Three flatheads totaling 94 pounds. They were 38, 37 and 19 pounds. The ruler in between the two big fish is 18 inches long. Funny how the 19 pounder looks tiny. He kept one of the bigguns and the small one. Good eatin.

daryl_s Report post Posted August 24, 2009 Gino, they have come out all right for us as long as they are cut up fresh and cooked right away. Delicious. He normally keeps the 10-15 lb fish for eatin though. Amanda, he was there by himself and forgot the net. He said it was quite the adventure getting them in the boat. Here is a cell phone pic I took Saturday. This is as close as I could get my little girl to stand, and only after I convinced her it was dead . She only weighs 3 more lbs than this fish.
