I hooked a big Dusky Flathead in shallow water, unbeknownst to me I had foul hooked it in the back. The fish then ran through an oyster lease and busted me off. A short time later I saw a large flathead swimming in shin deep water - and my lure was still lodged in it's back.
Whether you are chasing a feed or a PB "croc" - the shallows are the place to fish.
