[@mackjenkins7721]

Brother your Game was on man Especially after sitting in all that traffic like that for over 2 hours or longer. That is one thing us truck 🚛 driver hates the most because we lose are driving hours sitting in traffic like that when we only get 11 hours to drive for the day. But man did it pay off 3 19" inches. It was awesome seeing you get excited brother. Good video brother thanks you for sharing it & be safe out there brother.

[@southernsalt]

Yeah I got lucky on that one lol I thought the traffic would kill my chances

[@EddieTyre1]

Bruh that first hook set at 1:55 gave me goosebumps when the flounder said “unh unh!” And pulled back on you 😂 it was on! Awesome video, congrats on the win, dude!

[@southernsalt]

😂 I just can’t believe none of the big ones shook the hook lol they all definitely had solid opportunities 😂

[@EddieTyre1]

@@southernsalt oh yeah, definitely pucker up every time they hit the night and freak out lol

[@CaptCollier]

Studs. That feeling when you know you got that 3 fish creel in the bag is great!

[@southernsalt]

Man it’s a heck of a high to get that feeling especially as you sit back and watch other submissions toll in until the buzzer goes off.

[@davidmeeks2405]

Good day on the water. You didn't specifically point it out but watching the video it was obvious that you covered some ground. The video wasn't too long so I hope people realize how much effort you put into this trip. Again, great job. It's obvious that you have done your homework.

[@southernsalt]

Definitely man, I think I’m this trip I covered somewhere around 6 miles of water between traveling to different spots. There were a lot of areas I passed up that would hold flounder but I knew they wouldn’t be the right size. The rock jetties where I ended was about 4 miles from where I started.

[@bayoubanditcharters]

One of your best videos brother! Love the intensity!

Here in NC we have a relatively new flounder season we can only keep them in September and the limit is 1 a person

[@southernsalt]

Dang man are they hard to come by there or regulations way to strict?

[@robwalser5646]

over fished, and some who just disregard limit regs, seen it. Believe last year the season was one week, 4 weeks this year.

[@southernsalt]

Got ya. Never experienced an east coast flounder bite but here on the gulf coast the flounder population has had a major comeback in the past few years

[@MNtwincitieswaters]

Well documented and exciting .I love watching your videos.. thanks for sharing

[@southernsalt]

Thank you I really appreciate it!!

[@chrishebert3240]

Love watching your videos! I’m debating on what to get. A see-do fish pro or a kayak. I like the kayak because it’s quite and you can sneak up on fish in shallow waters and like the See do so I can get to some good spots really quick! Probably going to wait till after the first of the year and check out the Houston boat show and see what they have!

[@southernsalt]

If I could pick just one it would be the kayak but I do love the Sea-Doo

[@tracysmith9900]

We have a killer lure called the “Hoodwink “ you can get them at southernsaltbaitcompany.com. We’ve had quite a bit of success on them.

[@smileycamel5635]

[@southernsalt]

Thanks!!

[@TacticalDDS]

Why did you choose chartreuse grub instead of white or pink?

[@southernsalt]

The water was a little murky and I needed something to stand out. I only had white and chartreuse and I figured chartreuse was just more visible

[@johnpuckett899]

I live about 4 hers away from the Coast I have only had my yak in the mush about eight times in the last 3 years is there any tip you could give me to help point me in the right direction it's hard for me to pay for a master's class through you are salt strong or whoever because I don't live down there I get the yak in the water or maybe four times a year down there so it's hard for me to invest the money into it with all that being said could you point me in the right direction I'm going to Cherry Grove Beach leaving in the morning if not I understand great video

[@alpha-xtradingacademy90]

How can I send you some of my lures?

[@stevedirgo5477]

You keep little 12” flounder? Min in VA 16”. Also how can you cull fish not in a live well?

[@southernsalt]

🤦🏻‍♂️ I have no idea what gives you the impression I kept a 12 inch flounder although a 12” flounder is legal here. Since my SMALLEST fish in the TOURNAMENT was 14” any upgrade would be a CULL

All you need is Gulp final answer some flourlcarbin swivel depending on the current what size jig head that’s all you need I can catch 5 to your one guaranteed I’m a true professional saltwater fisherman I’ll prove it to you sorry but that’s the truth very seldom do you need mullet or mud minnow 99 % of the time all you need is Gulp and pending the time of the year what size you use

[@davidmann4533]

They should close flounder season until the numbers recover

[@southernsalt]

Numbers have definitely recovered

[@bensatterwhite5694]

Not yet in Galveston bay. There are still some being caught, but not like it used to be. 10 years ago it was common for flounder to strike at your lures or plastics on a large percentage of your casts. Not so much any more. For the past few years parks and wildlife shuts down the season during November and December. Right now flounder bag limits when in season is restricted to two fish per day and 15 inch minimum length. I’ll be glad to see them recover. You have caught some really nice ones on this video.

[@thomaskitlica5572]

I guess 2 pounds is a big flounder!😂😂😂😂
