Caught this 28 lb flathead cat kayak fishing on Choccolocco Creek w/: 

 

*** Black MH 6'7"

BPS Pro Qualifier 7.1:1

12 lb P-Line

Zoom junebug/chartreuse trick worm on a 1/4" shaley head

 

Not what I was expecting, but it was a nice ten minute ride!

 

It's that time of year. Flatheads are holing up to spawn and getting very protective so if you drop a bait on their heads they're probably going to eat it. 

Sounds like a fun adventure.

 

My cousins and I used to do this when fishing the Mississippi Sound in the Gulf of Mexico out of a 16-foot skiff.

 

We would hook into  and release our anchor or "stick up pole" and go for a ride until the line broke.

 

My uncle had a 46-foot Chris Craft yacht that we towed the two skiffs so we could go out into the Gulf.

 

Great memories.
