Fish Tale of the Catch:
Well me and my family went to catch some bluegills to let the kids have some fun so I said lets go to the river and try to catch a big flathead. Since I caught a 30lb flattie in the same hole on June 3, we went and I caught the 44lb. one and another 6 lb one and had another hooked but he got us hung up. so the family had one heck of an evening fishing.

Fish Tale of the Catch:
I wanted to go fishing all winter so I decided to get some gear together and go. I went to Green Lakes, a farm pond basically, near where I live. I was there about 3 hours and getting bites here and there. Then the float went under and didn't come back up. I thought it was a turtle because there was alot of them in this lake. I set the hook and the fight was on for about 5 min. I got my first blue on the bank. it was time for supper so I took all my stuff and put it in the truck. I did CPE - Catch, Photo, Eat.
