Friday evening I caught a 29 lb flathead that had already had a 15 inch sucker half way down her throat. Apparently she thought she was going to swallow that big sucker and my 7 inch sunfish all at the same time.
Her belly was also bulging – I mean for however long this girl was an eating machine.
When I went to pick her up, by her mouth, she clamped down on me. I wonder if reflexively she was thinking I was going to take that sucker from her.
The first photo is of the upper part of my hand where she had a hold of me. You cant see the underside of my hand that’s marred up as well.
The second photo is a of the sucker that she had partially swallowed.
And they always seemed so docile! Beware!
