Whatever there gator dude. Make sure you pound your chest a couple of times after reeling in that fish.

1st fish your own rod. After that alternate fish. No rod ownership. Boat catches the fish not rods or people.

Looks like you guys have found the “red marbles” keep up the good work

I know that 50+ pound fish can be caught off the same hole that you catch 5lb fish. They do come out of their hidey hole and move around. I think it just takes lots and lots of hours on the water and being at the right place at the right time or in many cases be there on the right night when that big one decides its time to fill its gut once again. Big fish don’t necessarily move every night. Just about every flathead water we (all of us) fish (From Georgia to Texas to Minn to Penn.) has had 50+ pound fish caught out of it. Some do harbor more 50 lbers than others. They are rare and make up a very little percent of the overall population. There are no special techniques, baits, or locations to catch bigger fish. They are right there with their younger brethren. I recently had a 5, 8, and 50+ pound fish caught from the same anchor. Just keep fishin’ and it will come. Denny catches lots of big fish, he’s a good fisherman and I’m not taking anything away from that, but he is on the water 10 to 20X longer than any of us. If you have a jug with 98 white marbles and 2 red, how many times are you going to have to dip your hand in there before you catch a red marble? Lets just say there are some anglers who can dip their hand in that jug a hell of alot more than others. They are the ones catching the big fish (consistently) and there are also the anglers who get lucky and get that red marble in one of the first ten tries. Anyway, thats my two cents worth.

Nice one. I like to use gloves as not to chew up my hands.
