Caught this flat head today on an 14 foot Ozark trolling rod. He weighted just shy of 35lbs and boy did he pull. This joker went at least 250 yards before he even checked up. Took about 25 minutes to ware him down, then the net wasn't big enough and I was by myself. I finally just grabbed him in the mouth and jerked him in the boat. Right after he soaked me down thrashing like a wild mustang.Attachment 121036
Love seein a big ole fish like that! Wooooot!!!!
Way to go, Don! Now if that's not a testament to how good Ozark rods are, I don't know what is!!! :yikes I wish I'd been there to see that! Hafta follow him in the boat to wear him down? Good job, man! :cheers2
Now you got some good eatin Donald. There is one thing a crappie fisherman and a flathead have in common, both the fisherman and the flathead like to eat crappie. Nice fish. Was that a Conway flathead or a river flathead?
That is a heck of a fish no matter what it was caught on!
Lunch please
$hanes Tapatalk
That's a beast! Great catch!
very nice fish Don
Years ago, up in Kansas, a guy set the state record with a big flathead that he caught crappie fishing, using 4# line and a crappie jig.
Congratualtions, not too many folks ever catch a 35 pound fish of any kind, certainly not on a crappie rig.
PIG! Nice catch!
That's an awesome fish don!!!! Good job great pic.
Sometimes as many of you know you hook more than one fish trolling and you prioritize which one to pull in...was there a small low priority crappie that got ate by this big flat head or just the minnow? Crazy fun I imagine pulling that huge flathead in! I'm guessing you looked like you hooked up the wagon to the horses with that monster pulling you around.
Golly gee whiz!~ what a fish. I gotta know, what kindda line where you using?
That's a good one! It's seems like the only time you ever hook a monster anything is when you are by yourself.
Wow!
Awesome! Good work.
I wish I was there to film it. Big kitty!
I caught it on 10lbs P-Line cx premium and a 1/8 oz mid-south jig head tipped with a big minnow. Yellow and chartreuse color.
That's some fine eating !
Great pic!! Thanks for sharing. Now, when's the fish fry?!?!!
That's a dandy for sure! One of the biggest I've seen come out of Conway since they drained it several years back.

That one will make a lot of samiches!
So you will not be by yourself next time just call me.
That's awsome!!! Must of been a blast gettin him in!!
Wow! That's a monster! What kind of reel did you have on that rod? I've got a cheap zebco t11 on mine. I don't think it would have stood up to the test.
"WOW" what a flathead!!!!! double "WOW"
That's an awesome fish!
