Everyone always calls Muskie the "fish of 10,000 casts", so I thought I'd call trophy flatheads the "fish of 1,000 sinkers" LOL A person can lose alot of sinkers and rigs between true monster flatties if he is fishing in the right spots! This monkier might give some one an idea of what they are in for when they take up flatheading, long fruitless nights,frustration,gear loss, and the exhilaration of landing a big one!
