Hey everyone,
,
Went fishing below Alma caught my PB flathead- 42 lbs+45 inches. live gill 6 inch, 8/0 gama circle, 80 lb power pro, 50lb big game mono leader, Shakesseare Arsenal HD, Ugly Stik Catfish 7' rod. It handled it perfectly-NO Problems, $50 in the whole setup!!!! Could not ask for more
Hopefully going out tomorrow, super excited right now!!!!!!
That is an awesome cat, conrats on that one. Probably going to head out Monday night after work around LaCrosse and fish some drop off's. Post a pic if you get a chance. Happy fishing.
Went out tonight and braved the pouring rain and it was worth it. The first spot we went to we lost two right away and then my brother in law caught a very nice 32.5 pounder that was a little over 41" long and very plump. He was caught on a cut sunny tail and then we caught two channels on cut bait that went 5 and 7 pounds. The two that got away were nice and heavy fish that felt like good flatheads also. The rain stopped and it ended up being a great night out there. All bites the action was on cut bait except one and that was a large sunny. Good luck to all, our time is limited now as the water temp is 58 degrees.
We went out near lacrosse last night and had six strikes all on cut bait, no runs or strikes on live bait at all. Of the six strikes we landed two Flatheads(two pounder and 10.5 pounde). Water warmed back up to 61 degrees around riverside park so we will be heading back out this weekend. Good fishing to all.
Just got back from fishing below Alma, got one 10lber. Only fished for 2 hours, had my 5 and 7 year olds. Very little patience, but it was fun.
Let my wife reel in that one. Her first ever Flathead. Will be going out this weekend, water temp was 62 in Alma tonight.

Water temp was 60 degrees in Lacrosse tonight and the wind was a killer. I think I will be hanging up the catfish gear for the year and may continue with panfish and walley. I will still look forward to hearing how you all are doing in the area though. Keep up with the updates, good luck to all.
