One things is for sure, flathead fishing isn't for the fisherman who want fast action, but when you catch one it's a blast because theyre usually big, and they fight like a freight train.

They'll roam the weed line picking off crappie or gills. Go fish the Hill cat boss always talked about. Dude caught 15-20 flatties every night out of that spot I'd Tack That!!
