I caught this big flathead while bass fishing on Lake Tenkiller in Oklahoma over the weekend. We had heavy rains Saturday morning so there was a bunch of water flowing into the coves and it caused a feeding frenzy for all species. I hooked into this monster on a jig right on the bank and she took off! Though I had a big bass for the first 5 seconds then down she went. She was a strong one and it took about all I had to get her up to the boat on my 17lb line! Probably one of the biggest fish I have ever caught. I say somewhere around 20-25 lbs but it's hard for me to tell. Thoughts?

I'll give ya 25. Nice fish! Love getting an unexpected species on a lure.

I'll take it! We were catching channel cat, sandbass, largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass. And then this giant! It was worth fighting the downpour

Only guessing I would say 22 to 25 Lbs. Nice fish!

That's a good one! 20-25 looks about right.

Best eating fish there is right there. Except for sakalait.

I will also agree with 20-25, that's a nice fish
