How Big Is This Flathead................?

[Angus]

Hey guys. I was talking to Leeann Payne about her latest Southern bay trip.

Lets just say they cleaned up.

After the massive positive response from the \"How Big is This Bass Post\" (despite a few negative know it alls), i thought id throw this up and let everyone have a crack. I have the photo of this fish on the brag mat and will post it monday.

Oh by the way, this fish was caught very close to where the August AFO flathead mission will be going.

Cheers everyone.

And thanks Leeann for the pictures.

Looks like the poor old girl was out of the water a fair time.
