my biggest flathead ever was caught down in Oklahoma during a thunderstorm I was fishing for trout using a ultra light and 4lb test right as the storm popped up I started reeling it in to get out of there and it fell like a full speed mac truck hit my line dang near ripped the pole out of my hand 3 and a half hours later on slowly reeling and flipping the bail when he wanted to run i finally landed a 64 lb 5 oz flathead and yes I was soaked straight through for that fish.

I have not had a chance to review many posts here lately but I think I have a good sense on reading people, before I get to meet them, from the things they write about, and their style of writing......
Although jigfreak was busting my balls he is probably right....my responses are usually multi paragraph, and at times at least a page long....

I tried to learn from the feedback I was given over the years...and now try to break down any long paragraphs I type, into smaller paragraphs, starting a new paragraph with each new idea.....

**I have taken the liberty of doing that with your latest post above, with spacing and paragraph breaks......see how different it looks....maybe you want to give that a try.....

Best of luck to you and look forward to seeing more posts about your obsession to hunt for bigger and bigger catfish...
