elmergoo Report post Posted May 24, 2007 That a boy. Besides a fishing pole, what kind of bait did you catch that critter with? Being a flathead I assume live bait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tjhunt2 Report post Posted May 24, 2007 HOLY #$@&! That's a big fish. I have yet to catch a flathead but hear they are excellent eating. Sounds to me like you got yourself a honey hole. It's a good thing the kids didn't hook on to that one or you would have been holding on to their feet for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
