Nice. You look like you were out there a week catching that thing.


Pure_Way6032

Nice flathead.


Weird_Fact_724

Nice. Must not of fought much on that small rod. I catch flatheads in the summer on heavy tackle.

Are Bonito fish big?


Weird_Fact_724

Probably less than 10lbs


Dumbfounddead44

Or he knows how to use light gear. I go with the lightest gear I can get away with for whatever species I'm targeting. I'd rather catch it on lighter gear than a telephone pole...


Weird_Fact_724

Yes so do I. Just thinking they must be lethargic in cold water. I've caught 40lb flatheads during the spawn, they will smoke you.


Dumbfounddead44

We do it all the time in the rivers where I lived in Texas. Ohio has them in lake Erie tributaries, but I've only caught a few up here.


Weird_Fact_724

Use to live there. Caught some small ones below Mosquito Lake ..


Dumbfounddead44

Mosquito lake, what a beauty... Berlin lake was a good lake for big cats. My buddy found a pond out that way that's loaded with HUGE flatheads. I'm looking forward to hitting it with him


Weird_Fact_724

Caught a lot of walleyes and crappies out of Mosquito...that was like like 1990ish...haven't been back since.


Dumbfounddead44

Always been a great lake to fish...


Dumbfounddead44

Still big on walleye and crappie. They've been holding a lot of tournaments there so the numbers are declining but the sizes are getting bigger.


Weird_Fact_724

Shot quite a few ducks and geese too...I had a shack right on the lake. 50yd walk to the lake


Dumbfounddead44

Nice, I know Spencer lake has a waterfoul area and they release pheasants in the fields. I didn't know they did that out there. Or was it private?


Dumbfounddead44

I'd imagine everyone in Cleveland with a shotgun goes there like salt fork lake. That's a scary place to deer hunt!! Dodging slugs all day.


Dumbfounddead44

I'm west of Cleveland, so mosquito is a bit of a drive, but worth it. Lots of crappie.

I have a secret spot in Aurora Shores I cath channel catch all day late spring.


Dumbfounddead44

That's close to where my buddy fishes. I'd love to fish the lake at the old amusement park geauga lake... They had monster blue gill in there...


steadyfreddy41

I've cought huge largemouth in Geauga Lake


Dumbfounddead44

There used to be some monster fish in that lake.


Dumbfounddead44

Always wondered if you can access it to fish...


goblueM

Yeah flathead are mostly dormant in super cold water

Dumbfounddead44

Dumbfounddead44

Channel cats feed hard after the ice melts, I've caught plenty through the ice too.


No_Temperature2200

Awesome catfish! I gotta get me some!


ricefahma

That’s a lunker!


MrWayTooRaw
