I used to spotlight and gig flounder on the flats back in the day. Lots of fun and probably top three eating fish that swims. I might have stuck a couple with a single tong that flopped off and swam away but I did my best to chase them down and put them in the cooler.

Mmmm flounder, now that’s good eating.

Watching SFB expertly stalk, present, hookup, net, photo, smooch then release a poopfish from a SUP with NO SKEG while pushing into a headwind is a thing of beauty. That sup can get up on plane depending on where his drag is at, the advantage of no skeg is he can do off axis spins when the pooper runs under the SUP and goes the opposite direct lol

Not the SFB...

slow day at work so journeyed down the youtube rabbit hole of flounder gigging. Lights have come a long way since I was gigging doormats almost 30 years ago with a Q beam and a flask of whiskey

Pffft. Doubtful. You can’t even spell “flies” right.

Folks, meet DaveTV, one of TGR's resident Trumptards. This is how precisely how Trumptards view the environment. Something you can destroy for fun and then leave the mess behind for someone else to clean up. Don't respond to this guy; in addition to being the worst sort of sportsman, he's a heinous troll.

BWahahahahhaa. Nice Melt brah. Way to miss the point about invasive fish spicies. Trump....right. You got me dialed. Whack the rat-fish and throw 'em back to die. Cut them in half? Never heard that. Makes sense. If I ever go out and whack carp again I'll be sure to do that. Catch and release carp on the fly. Fucking hilarious hipsters.

With the exception of SFB, y'alls poopervice was sorely lacking, so I decided to venture to the salt waters for solace.

#clompersmatter
strong work if i had salty funds or had easy access to chrome heads i doubt id slum dog poopers
not so much of a hipster thing to me
as a put it where ya think it needs to be hopes n
watch em eat it put the set on and try n not let the big ones take your fly somewhere where you aint gonna get it back
which depending on the water is sometimes easier said than done even with the 8 weight and 0x

not many bowfucks doing much more than leaving the splendors of their "sport" to rot round here

hey SFB, do you strip set for poopers like you would a bonefish or other bottom feeder?

yeah no home runs just put er in play
you get it set in that rubber mouth and rarely do they come off or throw the hook
most of what i throw a bone would eat
although more crayfishy, tadpoley than crabby
