Hooked a Few Sluggish Flatheads

Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Potomac River

My friend Jeff and I decided to take advantage of a warm February day and do some fishing. We set out for yellow perch and crappie but noticed huge schools of shad suspended with large fish underneath them. We dropped some �metal� down there and managed to hook a few of these sluggish flatheads. My largest of the day was 46 inches X 26 inches, estimated weight at 54 lbs. It was a great day on the Potomac despite some ice.
