72 lb Millwood Flathead

[Jim Stockton]

72lb flathead caught on a empty hook on a trotline at Millwood recently. Fish looks very poor...I guess that's why he bit a empty hook. No telling what he weighs if he was in good condition.

Ya he doesn't look good... Too bad we will never find out

[Little Mac]

He looks bad because he just finished the spawn, They all look like a truck dragged em down the road! Ive read for several years that millwood was the place to be for large flats, just havent made it there yet! Heck of a fish.

I too have heard the rumors of huge flats being in that lake ..........
Poorly yes I too think they just finished up spawning....But Of course
We will never know.....
Didnt look real beat up, and normally the makes get really battered defending the nest

My guess is the same, just left the nest. I often put tin foil on a few bare hooks on a trot line to catch fish. It was probably a silver hook he saw flashing and thought it was a shad. Still a nice fish.

Man, would have been cool to see that one all filled out.

Empty hook? I can't get one to bite a baited hook. Looks like I been doing it wrong all these years.
