Most nights that Woody Nash fishes with me
we will catch a flathead. Last night was no exception.
When I got it out Woody looked at me like:
Thats just like a flathead--only smaller

He did his duty and licked the little female
at every opportunity. She was clean and
swelled with eggs but not yet red at her
egg layer.
The night started with Rob telling me my hook was already
tangled as we prepared to set lines. Since it was right by the
bank I leaned over the side of the boat to untangle it in the
shallow water. I told Rob I saw them do this on Swamp People

Turned out to be a wheel (from and old Dodge I think)
The flat was small but at least my hooking percentage is still
100% this year
