big cat

[Steve Gibson]

Hey all,Mornin'.. been awhile.. got back from Fla. a couple of weeks ago tried to fire up the computer and got nothing to work. Ended up the hard drive went out. Computer up and running now. I stopped at the local fish and game that i belong to to do a little bass fishing early one morning last week,i was throwing a black and yellow tiki worm around the edge of this point when the line took off for deeper water, set the hook and the fight was on, at first i thought it was a huge bass but after after the second run i knew that it was something other tnan a bass. 20 min. later on 8lb. line and the help of another fisherman near by that helped getting it on the bank.. A 50lb flathead and it was 42 inches long!!....awesome!!!!!!!!!:wacko: after pictures i slid it

back into the lake to fight again.

Probably too late to certify it but that could be a line class record. Check it out.

Harpo, i dont know about the line class record...didnt think about that at the time :unsure: , but it did qualify for a fish ohio certificate and pin so i sent in for those. I was too excited with this being my biggest fish ever caught Steve R , yes they are tasty and did think about keeping it but looking at the tail showing signs of spawning i let it go Uncle bill, arms wasnt to bad but what a fight... Thanks guys!!!
