We ran down to the Minnesota river and camped out in the boat last night. Caught close to 25 channel cats and a dozen drum but no flatheads.
Was running a Hummingbird Mega Side Mega Down and was amazed at the size of the bighead carp. We would come across schools of 6 to 10 fish and come back and push them towards shore so they felt trapped to try launch them like the silvers in Illinois. They could barely break the water but they are some impressive sized fish.
Wish I would have saved some screen shots of the fish. I can't back it but would say there were groups of 40 to 50 lb fish. You can see their eyeballs at times. The technology is pretty cool.

I dont know if this is a bighead carp or not but we are finding smallmouth bass in the stomachs so we are killing every one we find and throwing them in the woods. Fucking invasives.   |

I was on the river. I am in the kitchen cooking big head carp right now. Out of Shore Lunch and searching recipes. A guy from Buckman has a a recipe where you shove them in a sock and soak them in buck piss for 36 hours but we need food tonite.

Bighead taste exactly like walleye. Skip the Buckman recipe and used one from Racheal Ray. He has some good instruction. And surprisingly large man boobs.
