…..but it bottomed out my 25# scale twice…..so does that make it over 50#??? 
Got this guy at 11:30pm tonight…..same spot as I lost the biggun last week. Only fish of the night (although my buddy lost one of similar proportions to a snag earlier in the evening 
), but it was enough to make me satisfied 
.
Alright Jake!!!!! 
See what happens when you wear your hat the right way! 
Look mom, no gloves 
Great job bud!!!

Beautiful catch Jake. It’s funny you even bothered to weigh it with a 25lb scale, but twice? What were you thinking? 
I’m a bad at judging from photos but I’m sure that fish is WAY more than 25. Did you get a length measurement?
Awesome fish Jake. 
Gloves??? I don’t need no stinking gloves!!!
We got his length at 42″….didn’t get a girth (my “hawg trough” doesn’t bend ). We actually estimated him at around 35#, but then again, I’ve never held a fish that big, so take it for what it’s worth…..All I know is he was pretty dang heavy for my scrawny little bones.
Hooked him using a little bullhead on a 5/0 hook and 3oz bell sinker….the 80# PP did it’s job though.
you’re definately on a roll there whippersnapper

Who the heck only takes a 25 lb. scale Flatheadin?? Your glass must always be half empty Beautiful fish, pretty skinny that fish should have been over 40 lbs. 32-35 seems more like it unfortunately. Go get AT LEAST a 50 lb. scale.

Hey! Be nice to Jake…
I agree with JC and you use 25 pound scales for baaaaaass…I guess. I run a 50 digital and a 100 spring….just in case
Nice fish Jake
Just starting off you probably wasn’t sure you even needed a scale yet….I been there, years ago 
I’m sure you are heading out to get one now though 
PS:
I like all your post, no matter what forum, you get me laughing 
Keep em com’n on the cat board
That’s what all the girls say….

That can change you know?
Thats a really nice flat Jake!
I would call that an *honest* 35# flat.. I am glad to hear you got the heavier scale. WHat are you going to do when you bottom out that 50# scale? I always have a 100# scale along, I seen a digital 50 bottom out twice.
