Caught myself a decent flatty,gave him a quick kiss for luck and sent him back to find me a bigger one. 🎣 Don’t worry, I’m practicing catch and release on and off the water.

Just landed this 55cm slab, for those squinting at the pic wondering if it’s photoshopped, I’ll run flathead fishing lessons Tuesdays and Thursdays for the losers. DM me for the “how to hold it like a hero” package or the premium course. Not all heroes wear capes! #catchking Tight lines 🎣
