Topwater flathead fishing has never been so brutal! In today's interview with Russell Babekuhl we discover a whole new side to the humble flathead that few people know exists. It's a style of shallow water, hand to fin combat where oversized crocs obliterate topwater lures and use their might to smoke the angler in oyster covered structure. The stories are more like what I expect from yellowtail kingfish or trevally fishos than those who target flathead. It's inspiring stuff!
