    I'm hoping your scale didn't go much further than 38 pounds. Either that or you forgot to weigh the blue and last flathead.
    That blue had about 5-10 pounds on that first one but that humongous one was at least 55 but I'll say 60.
    Wow. I forgot to thank you for taking us with you. Richard, I have the best time fishing with you. Thank you.

    Hi Richard, I'm a disabled veteran and I have short attention span and short term memory loss. Many of your are okay for the length of time. When I get up and walk away from the tele, I often forget that I was viewing your video. Do you think that you could possibly keep your videos under 15 minutes? That's only if you can. I know that I'm alot. Thanks.

      I learned that in East Tennessee but I'm an old-timer. Up here in Washington state blackberries are weeds. Took me a couple of years to get used to having to hack em out of the yard. They're all over the place. They're good, though. Back home we tended to not talk about blackberry patches around people who didn't know about them. ;)

    That’s my favorite area to fish for flatheads. Since the beginning of May my clients and myself have caught 5 over 50 pounds, a dozen in the high 40’s and countless 20-35lb fish within 5 miles of that area. Had a couple break the line that were probably 65-75lbs judging by how they fought. All released to keep getting bigger. My most recent upload is a client with a 54.3 a couple weeks ago.

    Have you ever tried a small float between the bait and the swivel? Basically the same rig your using with a bobber added above the bait but below the swivel. I used it just to see what would happen and I'll be darned if I didn't start catching bigger fish and more bites. Apparently it holds the bait just up off the floor just enough to keep it from dragging through the mud. It works good, try it out.

    Hello Richard Gene The Fishing Machine,
    Them were some Nice Catfish, that got you excited. Those Rivers in Tennessee have some monster Catfish in them. It's a shame you can't eat them because of all the water pollution many years ago, that continues to poison the fish today. Nothing says you can't have a ton o fun catching them though.

    Yessir. I've been fishing Trilene BG for 20-some-odd years. I've used it all with an open mind, fluorocarbon, braids of all types and on and on the list goes; yet I always wind up back with Trilene mono. Dollar for dollar, a good mono will beat most anything. A lot of that other junk is mostly fad products anyway. I don't hate braid, I use it on occasion and it has its place, but pound for pound, good ol' fashioned mono does the trick 90% of the time.
