heres my flathead. caught it below alton dam on the mississippi on a crappie rod with 10lb test and worms lol. the pole i was catching bait with to put on the big rods, go figure
not bluefish, bluegill. Part of the sunfish family. 1-4" usually works the best. Sometime we use bigger bait with fewer results. I like a 8/0 gamakatsu circle hook to hold em on.
