    Caught this when trying to get a few white bass. Just swallowed the lure! Guy that caught it was pretty excited! I was 37 1/2 inches and 28 lbs if my scale is accurate. Still swimming!

    Very nice! I’ve heard of quite a few flatheads coming from Johnson this year, and this one is the largest so far. Great catch.

    Curious…..was he suspended munchin on bait?

    Just a few – did a little better today – even a wiper – measured quickly around 21″ and then back swimming.

    Nice! I hardly ever hear of wipers in the main lake. They’re usually in the inlet or outlet.
