Here be Monsters!

New boat, new fishing waters, new monster fish...Flathead fishin' on the Minnesota... Raising both the bar and the expectations all around. Not necessarily monstrous in size, but this little hammer handle most certainly looks ferocious up close. This one was caught way up in Bemidji....

This one is a tad bit bigger...and a tad more monstrous...


I honestly don't think that there are very many things that can look quite as gnarly as snapping turtles...


Here's two nice late season channels, late enough to be the last two cats landed in 2010. Maybe they're not necessarily "monsters", but they are both certainly nice...Especially when you are out there braving those cold, dark Minnesota fall nights.


I would have to say that, in my humble opinion, these two channels certainly fall into the monster category for sure.
