Looking for some advice was fishing near the yellow buoy nearest sand head for tope in my sib and hooked into some kind of flatfish I couldn’t get it off the bottom and snapped 40 lb braid like thread about 30 seconds into the fight any ideas what this could have been I’ve never felt anything as heavy in my life fishing

Hi John Just wondering how you knew it was a flatfish…. Did you see it at all, to be able to give a description? The only logical thing I can think of is a common skate. However, we have not heard of any coming from the shallows around the buoy.

@@mullofgallowayseaanglingfe3878 I never seen it ,but it was stuck to the bottom in only a way a flatfish can ,I’m a fit strong healthy guy and it was pulling harder than I was , skate did cross my mind but as you say unheard of in the area I was fishing but in my 30 years of fishing never felt anything close to what that felt like power wise

@@Johnpir8978best guess would be a common skate…. Might be a good idea to tackle up for them and target them 👍🏻🎣
