I am telling ya, there are no fish in the Canal!

Let me clarify. LOL! forgot to mention the 3/0 hook is on my medium action 6' Uglystick spooled with 15 lb Spiderwire braid.

Also the invasive species was not returned to the water. It was given to a friend of mine. He says that flatheads are his freshwater lobster. Swears the flesh is white as can be and is similar in texture to lobster when broiled.
