Default DOORMAT!!

A friend of mine sent me this:

St. Augustine's Scott Shank gigged this flounder in the North River on Nov.
17. It wasn't weighed until 4 p.m. the following afternoon, when it tipped
the scales at 18.21 pounds. The fish was 38 inches long and 17.5 inches
across. With calipers, it was measured at nearly 5 inches thick. The
world-record flounder was caught in 1983 in Nassau Sound near Fernandina
Beach. It weighed 20.9 pounds. This fish would not have qualified for any
International Game Fish Association records, as it was not caught on hook
and line.

I'd gig it,

lets see i guess that would take about 20lbs of crabmeat stuffing for that one. I wonder if they taste just as good when they are that big.
