Nighttime cats
Tried for flatheads last night under the cover of darkness Flatheads and channels were out and hungry. Ended up with six flatheads and two channels, one channel a real beauty around 16 lbs. Scale went back and forth between 15.5 and 16.5 so will call it around 16! Fish was 31 inches long but was real broad in the shoulders. Beautiful channel! Fish were hitting funny last night, missed a bunch of run offs as they turned around with the bait and had maybe a half dozen instances when I had multiple run offs at the same time and as usual missed both! No big flatheads but good action throughout the night. While taking a picture of the big channel, I had a flathead hit. Got that fish in and was taking a picture of the flathead and the channel and the other flathead rod went off! Hooked up again but came unbuttoned on the way in otherwise would have had a very cool three cat shot. The flathead / channel picture is a 7.5 flathead and the 16 lb. channel. Overall good night, fish are transitioning to their winter holes and feeding heavy.
