| 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 22 inchers over the years and never had one go over 5 lbs. Usually takes a 24" to bust the 6 lb mark. Good job!!

Death From Above (9/17/2008)
A 21 1/2" flounder weighing over 6 lbs is pretty amazing. I've caught plenty of 22 inchers over the years and never had one go over 5 lbs. Usually takes a 24" to bust the 6 lb mark. Good job!! They all were thicker than most of the ones that I have stuck, it took quite an effort to penetrate the largest one.

Those are some good un's. You must have really had the fever to want to go after pulling a shift like that. I can also agree with you on that north wind. I went unprepared with shorts and a sleeveless shirt.

Talking with Gnwdad last night about this biggest fish and he said the pix's don't do it justice.
He said the thickness was the same length as the prongs of a 4 prong B & M 4XPK Spearhead.
The tine length on that is 3in.
