Hey everybody. As hot as it was today, my girlfriend Tina and I decided to pack up the kids and head up to my Mom and Dads place to do some swimming and a little fishing afterwards with James, a close family friend. I must say that I was more interested in the fishing part.
During the past three weeks, James and I had hooked into something very large and I had become obsessed (think Quinn from JAWS) with catching this beast since I had lost four rigs and James one to him previously!
Well anyway, James was the lucky guy tonight when he pulled this brute in.

This flathead measured 36" and I would guess at least 35 lbs. After a few photos, he was quickly released to go do whatever big cats do! (Which is eat, I assume!)
Oh BTW, the reason no heads are shown in the 2nd pic is that neither one of our mugs could compare with the sheer beauty on that fish!!!
Take care...Sid
