Can't make it since I have concert tickets tomorrow night.

But I figured I would add some advice. You abesoultly can catch flatheads on light gear, happens all the time with bass and walleye anglers hook up on the flatheads. But to do it consistently especially when fishing from the bank you need to beef up the gear. All my set ups have 65-80lb braid with 50lb shock leaders and still have had cats break me off. You gotta remember these flatheads live in structure. Log jams and Boulder fields especially with cavities that they can get under is where they live. Guess where they head after the eat a bait? That's right right back Into the nastiest stuff they can find. Don't under estimate the power of these fish. I prefer 8/0 circle hooks and 3oz no roll weights.
