Got this bad boy on the last crawler of the night. It hit on the cast, before the crawler even hit bottom. Man what a fight. It tried to dog into a rocky area with a huge log but after 10 minutes I got it to the sandy shore to beach it. Fishing alone it was hard to take a photo. I guessed the length to be maybe 38″ or so. Felt like 25-30 lbs, but that’s a guess. Any ideas on weight? Thanks!
I would say 20 to 25 lbs…I might be way off however. BK will help you out!
For the first upper Mississippi Flathead photo of the year…
25-30 sounds good to me!
Pretty hard to guess without something else in the photo to gauge it by.
I’m still liking the 25 to 30!
What a way to end the evening huh? 
I was close 
Those whiskered critters get in the way almost as much as sheepshead sometimes 
I was just starting to 
like you Jake!
Thanks fellas. There’s two 1.5 oz egg sinkers right above its head… that’s about all I can offer for reference!
I say sixty pounds. 
I would go with BK and say aboot 25#’s.
Nothing better than a flathead fighht. Sure beats those other bottom feeders they call a eye.
CAn we refer to you as “Stinkler” now? 
Nice fish yo!
