accidentally found a new way to catch flounder! (catch and cook flounder)

[@mgrantom]

A lot of fishermen don't know just how aggressive flounder are. I have had the exact same experience as you while fishing as a young man off the jetties off the end of Matagorda peninsula. I had a huge flounder come up from beside the rocks and hit a red plastic I was fishing. After that, I routinely cast around the rocks and caught many flounder like that. Of course, I lost a lot of lures that got caught on rocks too. :)

[@georgemorse4014]

You know Coop's excited when he keeps repeating the same thing. 🤣 Loving these videos.

[@andrewstirton1785]

Great video, as usual. He gets so excited, like a kid a Christmas, fun to watch. I fish most of the areas he fishes. I lean a lot from his videos!

[@maxmishuk7812]

When it said "bad word" it cracked me up😅😅

[@Mike_Curtis]

Dude, I love how excited you get when you catch a fish.

[@adiosramirez6739]

Went to the same spot walked about a mile down got skunked and you were just a hundred feet away from dock LOL nice fish coop!

[@paulaherring2786]

When I have not made it out to fish in a while I can’t watch these. Just get too jealous. I’m going out tomorrow so I’m bingeing the last 4 vids you posted getting myself pumped for tomorrow.

[@hollymotal3285]

I love you!!! Great job!! Been watching you for awhile! I've been fishing fish pass since I was tiny. Appreciate your enthusiasm!!

Coop *throws cast net* "OH BINGO!" "I got one..." *Hysterical laughter*

[@celestegutierrez1017]

Love you! And love how pumped you got! That was me last weekend when I hooked up to my first flounder don’t even know how it happened. But nowi really want to catch one! Mine broke off but I had never seen one in my life! It was so cool

[@jerrystephenson1172]

I love yr. videos. Your postitive vibe really comes through & your personality is so cool. It's no wonder that you are really good at this ( fishing & entertaining). Keep it up..you have a fan here!

[@timothyharris7499]

Seeing you throw that cast net amongst the rocks gives me anxiety! Keep up the awesome vids!

Yeah mee too 😂 I normally just get bait where I know there’s no snags

Its flounder season here in Galveston tx and that was a nice flounder

[@MsUltrafox]

So happy to have caught a flounder. I used to catch them all the time when I'm fishing in saltwater. King worms also know as Sandworms are my bait of choice.

[@MrLobstermeat]

I love to use a Carolina rig with circle hooks with live bait for flounder! Also if ya want heat...take the peppers and cut out the seeds and the placenta of the pepper. Next take the seeds/placenta an put them in a blender or coffee grinder an add some oil...Olive oil ...With a clove or two of garlic and grind it down... Add that to your veggie mix....Give it a shot... Great video

[@chadlogansdad]

Thanks for the great video Cooper. Coincidentally I was at mantanzas Inlet today, near St Augustine Florida , and the mullet were in there like crazy. Every cast net throw caught Lots. You can almost catch them with your hands! Tons of birds and things blowing up everywhere. I caught my first two flounder today so kind of weird maybe I'll try that ceviche

[@doogyjay1]

Love the videos and enthusiasm. Great flounder catch. Ive fished them for 40 years now. Might want to check recent regulation changes though on that treble hook. They are basically out for game fish now a days. Florida for sure which is where I am. A buddy in Galveston invited me to come fish the run and told me no treble hooks allowed. You mentioned you havent targeted them with hooks and live bait so just looking out for ya.

[@cvp7642]

Summer Flounder ( fluke) Paralichtus Dentatus ! Flat fish with many teeth! We are very lucky these fish only get so big..otherwise they would eat is right of our beaches! Ive caught several fish over 10 lbs. One had a 16" flounder in his belly. Another had a 2 lb. Lobster in his belly. They are Ferocious!!

I once caught a 4 ish lb. Flounder near Aransas pass on a rebel jumping minnow. ( Walk the dog type bait) . They can be super aggressive at times. Nice chunky mangrove. Tasty!

Next step up from a habanero pepper is a scorpion pepper. I would recommend drying it out, Then grinding it into a powder. It works well with fresh juiced mango. Adds heat and a nice sweet after taste.

[@DeerTGOD]

OSRS beats are dope! Love the videos man!

[@wallbs05]

Flounder stack up in those little drops between rocks so its not necessarily the same one .nice catch

[@wbwills2]

Been here for a long time but been a while since I have watched any of your stuff. Getting gear ready for cooler water in NC. Lived in South Carolina in the Charleston area. Carolina rig was the only way I knew to fish for flounder. Ran into a dude fishing rocks old chunks of concrete bridges etc. Look a lot like where you were dropping it right beside the rocks. He showed me how he did it. Certain times those flounders lay sideways on the rocks and in the crevices. Hey do you say Bing split shot and a small orange cork . The type you would use in a farm pond for sunfish. Wait on the bottom cork and mullet or mud minnows, shrimp, bait of some sort. The wait would keep it near the rocks in the court would elevate it up where the flounder were. Certain times. Not all year. In the off times when you’re not too confident. They are there though. Some nice ones sometimes. Used A j Hook but I would switch it up and use a kale or some sort of largemouth bass hook with a little twist in the shank . What is a good technique when nothing else worked During our water temperature or seasons. Take it easy

[@andrewmoncada6847]

Lmao i felt that " NO" you screamed when loosing that flounder. Was fishing yesterday and caught me a big ol doormat and it fell off. I said no the exact same way even swung my rod down the same. A heart break is bad but aint a pain like loosing a good fish 😔

[@booker1005]

That flounder bite was crazy lmao love the video man keep it up

[@GabrielPerez-pz2fp]

Good catch man. FYI, you played basketball with us 40 year olds last year at Montclair elementary. We didn’t play this summer due to COVID but we should be there next summer. I have had no luck fishing so far this month.

[@oscarhinojosa8095]

There’s a porpoise in the distance as soon as you hooked that big red. That’s my guess. Love your channel.

Try wide gap hooks to live bait flounder. I always give them a 10 count after I feel them thump.

Always, and I repeat Always set the hook on em when they move away slowly!!!

I caught about a 15 lb red at Bob Hall Pier decades ago with a gash like that. The man running the bait shop said it was caused by a dolphin. He had been a commercial fisherman on the Island for twenty years.

use a Kahle hook 1/0 with 1oz dropper loop. i catch flounder, trout and reds all the time with this setup. my target fish are flounder

[@anthonygarcia200]

I heard that the dots on red fish tails are a defense mechanisms against predators. When fish hunt they attack the tail end of the fish to disable them. The dots looks like the eyes so when the preditory fish attacks, it strikes the tought part of the body (head gill plate) increaseing its chance of escape.... i had caught a couple of reds with the same exacte strikes on its body...
