First Flathead of The Year (5-16)

Its been a real tough spring with all the high water but i finally managed to catch my first Flathead of the year. He came about a month and a half from when i usually start catching them and he came from a lake. Hes no monster by any means weighing in at 16#s but it sure was a good feeling getting the first one of the year. I was really starting to get discouraged with the water levels on the river but i started hitting the lakes and it payed off. This fish was caught in about 10 foot of water next to a 20 foot drop on cut shad. He was released after a few photos to grow and fight another day.
