Good job, we call them Fluke here, I believe the minimum size is now 19", I may be wrong they keep messing with the sizes, and the possession limit is 3, for recreational... Good eating,,,Bleed them out and ice slush them and they make sushi grade....enjoy!

They're very plentiful in the bays and estuaries on the Pacific coast. My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Take the flounder and scale the topside really good. You can cut the head off if you want, but it don' matter. Once its scaled good, then take a knife and cut if like the pic Swamp Wolf posted. Then add lots and lots of butter, salt, pepper, garlic, and some lemon pepper. Wrap in foil, then cook on some charcoal, grill, or coals till done It don't take long. Its quick, easy, delicious, and a very good camp meal. Resident Conspiracy Theorist Accused Moron, Nazi, Low IQ, Putin Fan Boy, Obama Clone, and Jew hater.

My cousin was down in Mississippi doing some in shore fishing in his small John boat. one of the evenings the game warden came down and talked with him asking questions ext. naturally he was a but defensive and asks the GW questions back and was surprised the GW was not being an jerk but infact looking out for him. Wanting to know where to go look for him when if he came back through later and his truck was still at the ramp after he was expecting to be back and warned him about bad conditions rolling in. AND Explaned currents' changing sea conditions and weather patterns effect that us flat corn field and farm pond people don't know or recognize. They talked more .and The GW was telling him about spearing flounder. When my cousin looked dumbfounded and interested asking questions the GW looked at his watch then asked him how much longer he was going to ba at the ramp. The GW was almost off work and when he was he took and showed my cousin how how they do it down there. Sounds fun

But you can wear a fish to exhaustion on a hook, and release it "alive" just to become crab bait.....

They clog-up our sockey nets, their one little sharp spine near their anal vent poke holes in our gloves and boots; plus they are mushy, taste terrible and are full of worms.
