Drowning worms

[moguy1973]

Bass haven’t been biting so I took my daughters fishing for bluegill and pumpkin seeds down by the dock shore.  They were done fishing so I took the float off and used up the last worm on my youngest’s princess pole on the bottom off the dock. Caught this.  Probably the first flathead I’ve ever caught.

Nice catch. I'm still looking to catch my first rod & reel flathead. They are considered invasive species here in MD along with blue catfish.

I bet that was a battle on the princess pole. Flatheads are fun.

If you got to have an invasive species, you could do worse than flatheads or blues.  Mimosa for example.  Ever tried to clean a mimosa tree?  And even cleaned right, they are tough and have a woody texture.

Several YouTube videos out there on how to skin one.
