Default 9/16/08 Report

Put in a midnight and fished for three hours ( I worked 16 hours and was not staying any longer). Water was muddy and the north wind was rough and chilly.



They filled a gallon ziploc









Weighted 6.4 lbs. Very thick

Some nice fish you have in those pics. I bet you were tired after working that long and then going. Those things are pretty thick. I am wondering if the bigger ones are starting to show up because of all the high water we've had. DOesn't that bring the bait in and the fish follow? Anyway, geat job!

A 21 1/2" flounder weighing over 6 lbs is pretty amazing. I've caught plenty of 22inchers over the years and never had one go over 5 lbs.Usually takes a 24" to bust the 6 lb mark.

Good job!!:clap

They all were thicker than most of the ones that I have stuck, it took quite an effort to penetrate the largest one.
