Chasing Flatheads (8/8/16)

[nate01]

Nicely done. I love going home with more gear than I came with. I've gotta say, I'm definitely surprised by the number of flatheads you guys are catching. Definitely can't deny there is a fishery developing for these giants in our rivers. I'm also surprised that fishing big live baits at night hasn't produced any river stripers as by-catch. Any thoughts as to why?

Flatheads own the river! There's more out they're than the state even knows! We'll never get rid of them and it makes me pretty happy to have another gamefish present in the river! As for Stripers, they're around! Certain baits catch certain species!

??? Well, I second that for sure anyway!! Especially if the skunk's taking place. I've got an arsenal of gear donated to me by the river...literally! Out of around the 20 pole/reel combos I've acquired, I've only purchased 1 reel. I hate...but also gotta love the careless/lazy angler. So thanks to you out there, I probably caught some trophies using your gear, HAHAHA!!!

I digress, where were we? JD...you sure it's not the catfish that are chasing you down bro! You been putting a steady smack down on any fish you're after dude! Definitely gotta give props when props are due. I'm with icebadger on this one...Vote for JD!!!

jd your on fire!!!!!! hope the catching stays with ya

Justin another beautiful flat head sir.....you are on a roll! If I were you I'd be buying lottery tickets in bulk these days! You sure that wasn't 30 lb fluorocarbon with braid attached, looks like it could have been one of the three that broke me off the other night! It's great to see people who put in the time and effort have their efforts pay big dividends and no one has had bigger dividends recently than you my friend. Very deserving catch....great job again and thanks for posting your results. I'm sure there were other monsters within striking distance that night!
