HardHead on a Topwater!!

Post by Gibby »

Had never caught a HardHead on an artificial lure except for the Gulp Shrimp. This morning launch in the dark. On my 2nd cast using a SkittleWalker, fish on. Knew it was small, assumed small trout. Could not shake the fish off, so turned on my headlamp. To my surprise, HardHead! About 12 inches and had a hard time getting its mouth around the SkittleWalker. Had switched out the trebles for single hooks but was still hard to remove hook because the HardHeads mouth is so small and the lure was in the way.. Tuff mouth too, think more than a Flounder.

:clap: Just when you thought you were safe from those fish! :clap: :lol:

Isn’t the whole point of using artificial lures is to avoid hardheads. :lol:

Nice job, now go and get that lottery ticket.
