I get an invite from a friend of mine who has become quite the GrabbleMaster (or noodler as some might say.
It was pure art.... wet, hot, muddy, messy art... but it was art.
We noodled up a goodly number of big flatheads (6 to be exact) ... including the most humongous, personal-best, beast any of us have ever laid hands on (whilst "hand-fishing" anyway).
Erik and Allen actually did the honors on the huge beast. I was topside photographing. Underwater minner said it literally took all fours of their hands in the beasts mouth to wrestle her from a cavern-like hidey-hole.
When they got her ashore I was truly worried Spur was going to have a heart attack due to the excitement.
There is video... but it is spread about on my camera and Spur's camera. It will take a while to assemble some highlights but it'll be forthcoming.
Today I am sunburnt, cut & bruised... but it hurts so good.

60 lbs!
Until then... the biggest I'd ever seen grabbled was 52 lbs.
