asDogs Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Hey fishraiders! I finally loaded up the photo of my flathead I caught lastnight. Strangely enough, I caught this thing on Pilchard head, just thrown two meters away from the water edge, I let it sit there while I lit up a smoke then picked up my rod only to feel like it was a snag, I lifted it a bit more and it was off! Maaaaaan did this run and the head shakes were amazing. I just thought I'd share with you my Personal Best Flathead, measuring at 77cm Sorry for the blurry photo, bad quality camera but I was super happy about this! haha thanks fish raiders!
