Good Samaritans Save A Flathead

Not sure if anyone saw this story from Ill.

New Bait?
Check out the channel cats with skin cancer further down.

I saw that last week. Good humor!

HEY! There’s some good ” bass ” stuff in there…

Moron would have worked too! You goofy bass guys in the cat forum.

I could tell you about the old days when I was running a chunk of cutbait 12 feet under my lighted slip-bobber at 1:00 in the morning catching big flats . The thing I laugh at most was our hooksets! We use to pick up the rod when our float was down, reel in the slack, then hold the rod straight in the air and run as FAST as we could away from the bank for at least 20 feet to drive the hook . Ah…those were the days .

I see so many directions I could take this…but I’m going to keep my mouth shut this time…(now there’s a set up! )

I want to see the video
So it’s realy not bass fishing you like D-nort, it must just be the boats

I have used slip bobbers for channel but never flats.

Brian, are you not feeling well today

Ok, I’ll admit it. It was a stocked pay lake loaded with flatheads, channels, carp, burbot, and trout (we called the flathead “shovelheads” in OHIO). We would pay $5 to fish for 12 hours and $1 to get in the big fish contest. This went on for years between the ages of 13-16. My mother would drop us off at 6:00 p.m. and pick us up in the morning!

And yes, we would catch flats on slip bobbers. We’d just set the stop so the stink-stuff would be a foot off the bottom. If the channels were snapping we could catch then just a few feet under the surface.

That was an interesting link, just because I am almost 100% positive that in the first article about the swans, the uncle he talked about hunting with was one of my college professors. I’ll have to email him to find out, but I’m pretty sure that it is him.
