We snagged and hooked the same one in a pool it was trapped in I bet 5 to 7 times before we finally brought that nasty bighead to hand. We were wading to so it was cuttting in and out around us with a cranbait or treble in it's side, lol. We were doing hand to hand with those dang things, that was fun. Biggest one that day weighed over 45 #. Chuck and I stunk so bad at the end of that day, we could have knocked a buzzard off of a crap wagon. He's right they smell BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
