So..You Wanna Catch BIG FLOUNDER??

[@oriel229]

I like this fisherman, with his swearword free running commentary, no drum music, and meticulous attention to the ecology of the ocean.

[@randy-pf5du]

No drum music lol what does that have to do with anything

Yeah no swearing, I enjoy that part of comments.

Something about that saltwater. Some of the prettiest "sky views" ,sunrises and sunsets, moonrise, constellations. Just beautiful. Makes a great added bonus and some you'll never forget.

This young man knows his fishing a great channel to watch.

[@teedub127]

Even though we are on different coasts I've learned enough about saltwater fishing from you that I bought a combo license, for the first time ever, to start fishing for some of the species in the Puget Sound. Thanks for the great content and keep them coming.

[@jim7smith]

The two best parts of flounder are the catching and the EATING! Nice video, enjoyed it.

[@williamelliott4444]

I love seeing the work being done to the fishing pier. Hopefully someday they’ll be completed!

You earned yourself a sub. Nice video just love to watch people put fish in the boat. No antics, no challenges, no scripted cheese ball tom foolery.

@@BamaSaltwater this is a crazy bait for flounder but it works use a bucktail cut a strip of bacon about 3-4 in long tie the bacon to the bucktail hook with fishing twine it works dont know why bacon has a strong smell so im thinking thats why bump alond the sea floor you will fell a weight let him eat it for a few the set the hook.

[@BamaSaltwater]

I don't like leaving hooks, lead, or fishing line a the water or sealife. Also, this fish fed four different families ;)

[@kayakflyfishingschool]

@@BamaSaltwater I like that you pick up trash and other things that others leave behind, I always carry trash bags with me in the kayaks or when walking the beach to do the same thing. That was some happy families, I am sure, that fish was put to great use. I am sure it was delicious I like flounder...especially fresh caught ones!! I like Sheepies a bit more though they can be tougher to clean.

[@phuel4u1]

Go BAMA my mom was raised in Chickasaw Alabama and that's where all my aunt and uncle and cousins a few have passed away but we still go visit down there they live in Saraland and we go down fishing right there in the bay love your videos bro bring back a lot of memories

The spade fish I have never heard of looks more like an Angel fish but you are the expert, I just subscribed tonight and enjoying the different content👍👍👍

[@wbwills2]

Flounder rock. Love that smell. Middle of Topsail island NC & both inlets is one of my favorite spots. Oct.of 97,the bite got crazy. 19-23 inch fish all through November & some of December. We owned a ocean front rental at the time .& Yes..me & my brother had to find new jobs.wouldn’t change a thing. Going to try that jig rig. . Take care.

Do you think maybe someday you could do a catch and cook on puffer fish . We used to catch them in Maryland . Great eating fish . Thank you

[@rodneyparker9912]

Nice flounder! Made my mouth water!!👍👍

[@PeterOkeefe54]

Part of the flounder family fluke are more aggressive with MUCH larger mouths. John Skinner has some excellent underwater shots of fluke in pursuit of bait. We will target them this May off coast of Long Island NY out to Montauck. Thanx for a great video..tight lines!!

Id like to see a video of you trying those lures off of the pier. I think you'd do good guessing. I mean iv only got to fish at the ocean a few times but I think you might have luck

[@reinaldomoll]

I guess there's much smaller fish in your area. Up here in Jersey, a 19.5 inch fish is definitely not a doormat lol.

[@baritony8763]

I remember playing the fish for fun , bringing them in slowly. Every video I watch has the anglers horsing them in. Savor the moment, tire them out a little--and yourself.

I don’t know your location but in Texas starting this September keeper flounder are now 15 inches and up good luck

That was last year it was changed to 15

[@kennethlocke4213]

Texas here too. No book nobody knows regs. Our DNR is retarted. Gator Garfish no size no quantity to one per day 4 foot and under. Change was in ONE YEAR! Impossible to go from plentifully to going extinct. Now? Gotta go on app or call game Warden and report. I GOT MY ONE GAR!! MENTALLY RETARTED TEXAS. I sent our DNR a message they all need to be drug tested per Fed criteria,"behavior consistent with drug alcohol use while on the job." They did this exact same stupid shit with sharks too. No limit. Next yr one per day. Sand blk tip only. That was a change too.

[@kennethlocke4213]

Sorry venting. Want a garfish 5-6 foot long or bigger? Trinity river. Let me know. This river it's hard to fish for anything else. Massive amounts.

Awesome footage. I’m dropping my GoPro in the drink tomorrow to try. Last week’s video shows me using the Chasing M2 ROV for the first time. Quite hard to control, and heavy and space consuming on a small boat. Can’t wait for tomorrow…..

[@video4belphotos]

2023-06-28 - I found your channel scrolled up on my YT feed about a week ago. I am certainly enjoying your videos. The Sheepshead’s really caught my eye. I lived in the town of Sheepshead Bay for my first 18 years. From 1956 - 1975 Sheepshead were there in the bay, however with the storm sewers leeching into the bay from a five mile radius, they just about suddenly disappeared. My friends and I from ‘58 - ‘68 turned our attention to bay flounder. They did not taste good so it was always a catch and release effort. I have one or two questions about your equipment. Trolling motor; I noticed while you were fishing the motor rotated and you did not stray from your position. I was wondering if you have an autopilot setup so you stay on station? Power Pole; I looked this up and really wasn’t satisfied with their description. I also noticed on your boat what appeared to be coax cables at the bottom of the pole. That’s about it for now. Thanks for the great Class A videos.

[@PermacultureLongboarder]

Great video thanks for the awesome content. Stab those hardheads before throwing them back. They are taking over the bay and have already done a ton of damage in perdido bay. People keep tossing them and they keep multiplying while pulling out specs and flounder...

[@Vexins]

Late but they make great additions to a crab trap.

[@seeratlasdtyria4584]

If you want a truly BIG 'flatfish', you gotta head up to British Columbia, or Alaska. Up there we call em halibut:) My biggest so far, around 475 lbs. Biggest I ever saw was closer to 800, and yes, they can and will kill you given the chance. Also, never try to 'horse' a good sized one into your boat w/o administering adequate 'lead poisoning' first, 12 gauge is best. Since they are almost ALL "Muscle", just flapping around in the boat, they can break legs, and even knock out your transom- don't laugh, I've seen it done (from my boat standing off, watching some inexperienced fellows from Chicago, who came up to catch some "BIG" fish:) After pullling their target aboard, we then watched as they desperately tried to throw him back out :) We fished them out of the water as their rented skiff started sinking, and when we all got back to the lodge...well let me just tell you, I've seen men "drink" before, but THESE guys almost redefined the term :) They went home the following day thankful that the fish didn't get em with his jaws. Halibut up there have teeth that STRONGLY resemble those of a shark:)

[@garyjackson355]

Good morning love your video

[@freebird4660]

When you fish for the flounder I always use tubes and it always works the best for me

The small guy that the shark was chasing is called a Squirell Fish. I catch alot of those offshore in Pensacola and Destin. Decent bait...

19" is just at the keeper mark here on long island NY

@@CaptCollier also overfished on the great south bay. I would rather keep less fish and and drop down to 14/15" Not being sarcastic. we have to throw back fish all day. Including many good eating Fluke| flounder> some of those are fat just not 19"

[@MichaelButler-xw3xg]

Keep your rod tip down close to the water. Work the bait slow almost dragging it across the bottom. Lightly almost barely twitch the rod tip. This will catch way more flounder. Popping or lifting the rod tip will pickup more trout and reds.

[@raybates3119]

I remember being at Chandeleur probably 25 years ago. We were all fishing mainly cocaho plastics for Specks and before the trip I had bought several bags of off the wall colors. On one particular afternoon the fish wouldn't bite anything but red with a white head and I was the dude with red! LOL Of course I shared and we tore them up on red when they wouldn't bite any other color.

[@Mythsinger]

I'm worried about fishing so close to a rig. Broken fishing lines tangle divers down to do maintenance. In the UK there's a 200 yard exclusion zone to protect divers - in the early days divers were killed when tangled in fishing line. Just saying.

[@masonbeliles9399]

Fishing with live shrimp is addictive cuz you're always getting bit, but it's always the little ones.. if the little ones are out I'll throw down a block of chum and then throw some good fresh chunk mullet or pinfish on a knocker rig about 10 yards behind the swarm of little guys
