Small Flathead, BIG appetite! 9/19
Had a very rare half day of work last Thursday. Headed west to the Musky to catch bait and do some catfishing. There were Rainbow Trout in almost every hole I checked. 1 hole held about 25 or so Bows. I stayed there caught my bait and smacked the crap out of those feisty Trout. A couple of em’ took a ride with me to the big river. Haha! Got a few small Flatheads in the 4-5 lb. range. One of them was so hungry that it devoured a 9 inch Rainbow. Amazing what these invasive species can fit in there mouth!
Also on this day I hooked, almost landed and then proceeded to lose the biggest Musky in my life. Would’ve been a PB for me. I had her by the tail but she didn’t like that very much. So she took off running and while I was trying to turn her for the 3rd time to get her in she did a head shake and snapped the 8lb. test leader on my ultra lite Walleye rod. Nothing I could do unfortunately. Why must these big, allegedly smart fish have to eat small Keitech’s meant for other fish!?!?!?!? DAMMIT!!! TIGHT LINEZ!!!

Re: Small Flathead, BIG appetite! 9/19
Those flatheads are sorta pretty when they're not abominably huge.
Nice way to combine trout fishing and catfishing together. Sorry about the lost musky but oh well they're just carp with teeth after all You got your target species!
