Well it didn’t quite work as planned. The theory is sound, but I needed a smaller bottle so the fish could take it underwater. We learned this trick in Texas for alligator gar and tried it out on a stuck flathead. Although the flathead didn’t take the bottle underwater, it did allow it to work it’s way out of the snag – a win in my book.
Enjoy!

beautiful fish!! Surprised there wasn’t a mark on it. almost every flat we have boated this year has been in battle. Love pulling them up outta holes like that. Keep it up 
I recall Capt Kirk explaining the float trick as well for gator gar.
There’s proof that it works!
I think a person would need a lighted float at night though. Great Video guys!
Just throw a glow stick in the bottle?
