flat heads fishhound & olgreenboat

[olgreenboat]

fish hound and I got together ( We live in the same county) and went to some of his honey holes on the ohio river thursday for a few hours fishing and we had a real nice time and i can honestly say that he knows his river and the fish thats for sure.
In about 4 hours time we boated about a dozen flatheads and one blue

The fish in the ohio are so helthy and clean.
I did keep 2 small flat heads ( about 3 pounds each ) for the table but all others were released un harm to fight again another day but these were the 2 biggest fish caught..
I'm from louisville and i used to fish below the spillway alot and i must say it was nice to be in water that was calm and since that part of the river had a sharp curve in it the barges was going slow when they passed us.

Man it was just a beautiful day on the river thursday and i can't wait to do it again.

Thanks for the trip Bill

I think they have done so all ready there just forging them self because of all the easy finger food available. when the sun was setting they started working the top for shad they were doing this 10 to 30 feet from the boat and rolling on top of the water and we could see there backs and some of there mouths & heads..
