Ok ok! Here is the pic taken with my cell phone. This was a beast of a fish and I hope to have a little time tomorrow to write a little bit about the catch in it’s own dedicated post. The belly on this fish is amazing. I wish I had a girth measurement. It measured at 55 inches long and hit the scale at the marina at 72 lbs. This fish spent less than 3 minutes total out of the water and was carfully released to be caught again when it is even bigger.
Awesome! That’s all I got to say about that fish!!!
Great fish Ben 
Holy crap, they’re hitting everywhere on cranks and we’re turnin this baby into a flathead post! It’s no 72 pounder, but ya gotta start somewhere. 
Trolling hasn’t been too good in the canal lately, but we were making one last pass before we couldn’t see anymore, but I did see the outside rod about break in half. I had to tell Dad to get it because he couldn’t even see it! This is the biggest flathead in my boat trolling thus far, so hopefully the next one will be double. This one went 12lbs, 30″.
Might as well post another one caught at Sherman this past weekend too. I got this in a text message from my buddy Marty, and it went 55 lbs. I believe Ben said he saw it being caught. I’m thinkin next week I need to hit Sherman. 
I told ya we were going to turn this into a flathead post! Here’s a dandy my stepdad caught Friday, went a shade over 29 pounds. The difference is, he was going for flats. Caught another one about 10lbs or so and a real nice channel too, about 16-17 pounds. Not too bad a day!
Here is a Sherman Flattie from 2009!!! Ben an I had a good time landing this beast!!
I don’t care what kind of post we turn this in to, as long as we keep the fishing reports rollin. I was at Glen Elder over the weekend and hammered the Walleye. 50+ a day trolling cranks. Problem was all were 16″-17″ and only caught to keepers. Their was a few whites and crappie in the mix.
Fished Norton yesterday and it sucked only one wiper. I could not beleive it.
