Went to pat cleburne last night with no luck for about 3 hours. Around midnight we decided to head to the joe pool spillway since it's a little closer to home. When we got there around 1:15 , she was exhausted from being up all day and asked if she could stay in the car. If you've been there, you probably agree that it isn't the safest spot . She ended up coming down and throwing a line out about 4 foot deep on a slip cork . Not even 10 minutes later as I'm still catching shad, I hear "babe I have a problem". I ran around the spillway and her pole was doubled over peeling through the drag . This is her first fish bigger than a bluegill also. She fought and fought and finally brought it in. We thought it was a gar at first cause of how long it looked. Got it up next to the wall and we shined the light down and it was a flathead bigger than anything id ever caught or seen personally . She said "and I was going to stay in the car". Well ..... Good old me ruined the day cause the knot that I had tied, somehow slid undone and this monster was gone . I wish I knew how big it was. Easily 20 pounds though. I asked her if she understands why I fish every spare minute now. That's how she got herself hooked. She didn't want to leave after that. Now I'm being requested to take her night fishing again tonight.

Lol! At least yall got to see what was lost.
