cool!! sounds like them big flatheads like those logjams . when you say a cut gill ,do you mean like a bluegill head or a live bluegill thats cut so it will bleed out ? sorry for all the questions but i have never had much luck fishing for them big cats just trying to get some ideas. thank alot

no just either the head of a blue gill or the other half of it. to be honest i have never caught a flathead out of a log jam, i know a bunch of people do. i cant count how many log jams ive sat at and not had a hit, but im not going to ever stop fishing them. feeder creeks are also good. i alway look for a deeper hole and then just start fishing up stream of it.

Nice fish. I caught one about 3 years back about the size of the bigger one in your pics out of the Wabash. Biggest fish i have ever caught. Feeder creeks are good as you say, thats where i caught mine. I waited until the river was flooded and then fished the backwater in the creek mouth with a live chub minnow. In the first 30 minutes i had 2 flatheads. One around 8 pounds, and then the big boy. I left after that to go show it off lol. Never have been able to get another to go, but i havent tried real hard lately either. Next time the river comes up good, i may just try it again.
