Caught a beautiful 4.5lb snakehead and my first flathead of the year! The flathead came in at around 8 lbs and picked up a piece of shad with 14 ounces of lead. The river is flowing like crazy today. I lost a ton of lures today while snakehead fishing but I think it was worth it, especially because he’ll be dinner tonight.
