Big Flatheads

One of the signs that the fall bite is beginning on the St. Croix R. is the BIG flatheads start hitting walleye rigs. It is always a wonderful treat and thrill for anglers to connect with these great fish. I am attaching a couple pics of the size that you can get. The old saying ” you never know what you’ll catch in the River.. ” is so true. Caught on Rapala Shad Raps – very fun. Not shown is My Uncle Kelly who also landed a 38.7# I netted and was the heaviest “Biggest Ugly Fish” entered in the Beanie River Rat Tourney last sat.

#1 Ed K. of River Falls with flathead. Him and Dave also caught two limits of eyes and saug dogs.
#2 Chip W. (right) St. Paul landed this one.

We’ve been picking one up here and there Sturgeon fishing as well Turk.

At 37 pounds that’s a catch he won’t forget soon!!

BK,

My Uncle is a lifelong experienced very good angler (eyes, pike, salmon, panfish) and that was the biggest fish he ever caught…pretty nice honor to be there with him.
