26" Flathead- PBJ and Smoke football head with paca chunk trailer, around corner after no wake zone
The story of the day was missed fish. I lost a 3 pound + LM and a smaller bass on a football jig at the boat. I have lost a number of bass over the last couple of years on the football jig. I need to work on my hook set and not let them jump.
The other interesting thing was catching another flathead. This time on a football head. It hit like a ton of bricks and I thought I had a big bass, but when it kept trying to dive instead of jump, I new it was a catfish. It did not cut my hand quite as bad as the last one. I still need a net.

Finally on the water after a six weeks absence during the middle of the summer, hopefully that never happens again. I maid it out to the lake after a quick dinner after church, there was finally some cool weather after the oppressive heat this summer. My goal for the trip was to catch a fish on a drop shot, I managed one small runt small mouth. I was able to catch a keeper on a spinnerbait, it was the first time I have ever had a trailer hook on a spinnerbait and it made a difference. I also fished a frog for a short time but was not able to get a bite.
