Flatty teeth
Ive caught plenty of flatty over the years but ive never seen a flatty with teeth like the 1 i caught friday night.
I used to put my thumb in the flatties mouth and my index finger underneath its lip to deehook them. Glad i didnt do it this way on this fish.
Anyone else ever noticed teeth like this on a flatty?

Re: Flatty teeth
I saw a juvenile flathead take a chunk out of someone's hand on a pier recently. His hand bled for a good long while.

Re: Flatty teeth
Tiger flatties have teeth like that. But they're normally in 30mtrs of water. And they're a very chunky fish.

Re: Flatty teeth
Never seen them that big on such a small fish. Holy crap.
Imagine the teeth on that 1 if it was 60 or 70cm long.

Re: Flatty teeth
It is a Tiger Flathead. And you very quickly know about it if you forget they have teeth
