I caught this flathead last night around 9:15. I caught it on a live bluegill around 7-8 inches long. Fished till 11:30 but only had two bites, both at the same time. The other rod had a 3-4 inch live bluegill but got hung up in a brush pile.

You don’t get a lot of bites when fishing for flatheads, but it’s quality over quantity. One thing for sure, it was a beautiful night. No wind, no clouds, lots of fire flies and the sasquatchs didn’t bother me either!

That's a big plus in itself !

Nice catch Rb, nasty looking guy. But some good eats there.

So how do you rig the bluegill so they will bite it? I use fish parts on bottom but never used live.

Thanks guys! I put the above the spine a ways and between the dorsal fin and the tail! They will live for a long time.

I used a 4 ounce slip sinker and I use a cigarette butt with a clove hitch with an extra loop in the middle.

That's exactly how I do it as well.

They are good eating but this one got to go back and swim again and get bigger.
