I got a pic from a friend of mine from a trip from late August. My daughter and I went on a trip where it would have been her first Flathead but it was 3:30 in the morning and she didnt wake up till it was on the bank. She told me it was still her fish cause it was her rod! lol! I have to tell ya this girl is Flathead Crazy and will be posting bigger Flatheads than most of the guys around here soon! She understands why we catch and release these giants and has a great overall respect for the outdoors! She calls herself Shelby Cat! LOL!
