On the RIVER........
 

Still playing on the rivers this week here and there. The cookie cutter Flatheads are starting to get out of hand. 5-8 lbers seem to be in control right now. Theres also a phenom amount of schoolie Stripers out there as well. Must have caught 30-40, 5-10 inch Stripers while trying to fish for Eels, UNREAL! The Smallie population is very strong these days on the big river. Everywhere I look theres Smallies. Got a few last night on assorted topwaters.

See this 12 inch Smallie! It inhaled a 5 inch Bluegill and tried to commit suicide. She swam off ok but was bleeding really bad. SUICIDE SMALLIE!!!http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9k6vxh8l.jpg

Awesome report - as always.
I'm astounded at not only the numbers of Flatheads you catch, but the fact that you're also catching them in the daytime.

I have never caught a Flathead, but it's on my list.

Don't feel too bad about the bleeder. If you stick hooks in enough fish, you're occasionally going to release a fish that will exsanguinate and die. It just happens.

I'll take a cookie cutter 5 to 8 lb anything all day long dude! I gotta try that river. Haven't fished it since New Years Day for Walleye!!! :D

The river man! Nice work dude! The kitties have certainly been cooperating lately. Great to hear about all the little stripers.

I like those Flats Eddie! Awesome! Big-D?

Eddie,

What size were the two flat heads you posted pics of? Just a matter of time before the big girl comes calling. Lot of guys would kill to catch a 5-8 lb flat head!
