When I can't go fishing myself, I watch these vids. Thanks for an entertaining and informative romp through some of the best waters in America. Keep them coming, bro!
Man what a catch, I’m just surprised something has not come a long and stripped off everything on your stringer. Looks like a lot of fun. I don’t think I could have turned that ten pounder loose!! He would have ended up in the pan and ultimately in my belly. Good luck and catch a lot of fish.
I just got across this video and I must say, I am impressed. You catch the flounder, you kill it, and than you measure it on video... I don't know East coast game rules but, aren't you suppose to measure it soon after you get it out of the water? Just saying...
I always enjoy your videos so much. Watching you have so much fun made me get into kayak fishing. I purchased a new one 2 weeks ago. Thanks again for you videos and I've learned more about saltwater fishing. I've been a mostly freshwater fisherman for over 40 years.
I live in Florida and used to hang fish off the side like that. Then I started thinking about how many sharks where swimming under me and decided to invest in a kill bag
Sebastian Inlet in FL has 20-25 Pound flounder at the rocks on South side of inlet. Use a live mullet, toss it out and do not move it...too snaggy...wait for your fish to take you out.
Yup, up here in New England we also have "winter flounder", a very different fish, so we call these babies "Fluke" so the person we're talking to knows which fish we're talking about, or "Summer Flounder" if they don't know what a "Fluke" is.
Cooking and Fishing what's up I had a question for you I go to New Jersey in the summer to my shore house I wast to know if you can tell me the best was to catch flounder in the bay in wildwood crest and what bate to use I tried lest summer and didn't catch anything lol thanks for any info
OK, newbie question. I get on the bay in MD behind Assateague A few times a year and often thought about draggin the yak with me to fish. One of my worries has always been doing what you were doing with the flounder on the stringers and having preditory types come and enjoy the free meal..... and here you are hangin them over the edge like I would a stinger of perch. I take it that it's not much of an issue, like I said I'm a newb so don't be to harsh on me.
Where were you fishing in NJ? I don't remember if you said @ start of video. I never seen a paddle Kayak, how much does something like that run? lol nevermind, I saw a few on Google. It is a nice little setup though.
What do you do when a shark comes for your bloody fish hanging in the water? Sometimes I hang my bucket of live shrimp over the side, but let it go out quite a ways away from my kayak. I seem to lose a lot of shrimp to crabs when fishing the bottom for flounder. Do you ever see dolphins up that way?
Dont hook your bucktail on your guides on your rod. It can scrape the guide and put a bur on it and can cause it to rub the line going in and out. Could cause a break. I see the light house in the back ground. Are you in LBI? If so i have been killing the fluke in the bay with bunker strips.
i see you're near a channel and at one time, saw 24.3' on your depth finder. Do you fish in the channel at this depth, or on the side of the channel, and if not at this depth, how deep are you fishing? down in texas, we don't fish the way you do, jigging for flounder, but this looks like an exciting way to fish. thanks for any help you can give. good luck.
Just cooked up some flounder fillets yesterday, try cooking them in a pan with a little bit of oil....Old Bay seasoning and pour about 4 or 5 shots of Malibu Rum in the pan and cover the pan with a lid for about 10 minutes....Tastes excellent!
I live in Florida and fish everyday. Pliers and scissors are a must. You need a multitool or a fricken pocket knife and pliers.(the multi tool I use got it a home depot, cost $20. Has pliers,scissors,2 knifes,bottleopener etc.
I can’t believe that you just about got the word out of your mouth about the blue fish strips, and he hammered a 10 lb flounder!!!! And the best- CPR 👏 👍Yessss
I'm going to be moving to New Jersey soon from way inland, looking forward to the fishing . Thanks for all the great videos. Quick question on bleeding: would it not make sense to put them on the stringer live and then bleed them when you're pulling out and put on ice? Thanks
Funny you mention the Duke o fluke tournament, I'm watching this just a few hours before I'm heading out for the same tournament. Let hope I have the same luck as you. Tight lines 👍🎣
Nice flounder. You should come to the Bay Area and try our beast out. Our slot is 24inches!!! We get um 30+ inches from shore & kayak from Mid April till Mid July.
In your boating travels have you seen any landing areas that a person in a wheelchair could toss a line? I'm in Staten island.. Not into piers unless I have to.. thanks for any heads-up joe
You should invest in a big game clip. So much faster to secure keepers and less drag. After they bleed out I throw them into my cooler to eliminate drag. Nice video!
man looks like fun, I fish in the western US and have always wanted to do some salt water fishing, Do you drag the bait across the bottom to catch flounder? Thanks for the video
@Sea-Money Fishing. Awesome video once again, really enjoy watching them. Why do you think the fluke are biting the strips better? I also noticed my last time out that live bait/strip baits outproduced gulp which hasn't happened for me in years.
It was weird.. this day there was no debate, the strips worked and the gulp did not! I honestly think these fish these days are smarter than we think and wont eat a gulp like they used to. Gulp will still work no doubt, but its tought to beat a natural bait like fresh strips or live bait
They stay fresh strung up in the water like that all day...? Also will they show up on the fish finder? What type of structure do you look for? Thanks !
Hey Chris, are you fishing the duke of fluke? I'm going to miss this year, but that's always a good time! Cathy and George are great people! Got my PA14 from them
What did he cut on that second one just before putting back into the water for storage. .?awe never mind I just saw how he cut the gills, very smartest What was that between your legs ? It looked like looked like a gator he would have to have brass balls lol. .?
How come you cut the gills? I'm from Texas I haven't seen anyone or heard of anyone do that till now only time I will do that is when they swallow the hook too deep
You get to bleed the fish while still alive. Makes for cleaner looking fillets and supposedly tastes better when bled properly as compared to non-bled fish.
I live in Jersey, and the only question I have is, what area are you fishing here? What part of the bay, what channel were you covering by the buoy markers?
+Lachlan Thistlethwaite sweet we have a few kinds too, these in this vid are the biggest we have. Sole and turbot look sweet too, halibut too would be awesome
Hey man, great video. I live in the mid Chesapeake and all I own is a sit in Kayak, do you think its safe to take a sit in kayak in the bay? Also what bait or lures do you suggest for Rockfish [striped bass]
for rockfish down in the chesapeake they seem to like soft plastics on jigheads, also live spot or perch is really good. You could take your sit-in out in the bay but you have to pick your days, definitely want to day when its flat out there and be ready to head in to shore as soon as it starts to get choppy
Hey man it was cool meeting u last week. Don't know how u and Tan made out but for me it was a little slower than usual, maybe I'll see u again back there sometime. Keep up the awesome vids!
NICE!!! Getting a snapper for bait can sometimes be hard too though. Seems like they just aren't as easy to get as they used to be...especially with just a bucktail alone like you did here.
Get a piece of heat shrink tubing and put it on the end of your string. It will make the end stiff. That will make it easier to push through the fishes mouth. Make it at least six inches long to be able to make it all the way through.
Enjoy your stuff, my brother and I got some outbacks last year and plan on trying flounder this year behind OCNJ. Planning on learning as we go and your vids are helpful.
never thought I'd be watching fishing videos but you make it quite interesting. I even checked out your competition. they grunt and groan too much. you seem like you're having fun. one youtuber to another, good luck with all your future endeavors
Enjoyed the video, but why don't you use a conventional stringer with a sharp point and poke it through the bottom jaw instead of that string that you have to force through the gills and out the mouth? Thanks.
I believe you are drifting but i notice another boat pick the area . what is so special about the area what is the bottom look like are you drifting in and out of channel , are you deep or shallow i guess about 8 ft . did you catch many junk fish like catfish
This video is amazing. I have caught striped bass on my kayak, but have not had any luck yet with flounder. I will try again next summer. What type of a rig and bait do you recommend?
When I can't go fishing myself, I watch these vids. Thanks for an entertaining and informative romp through some of the best waters in America. Keep them coming, bro!

Not many 10 pound flukes left in Jersey. Congrats to both of you on a great day of hooking and reeling, and thank you for releasing the grandaddy.
Nice one. Founder taste so good. Shame we don't get them here in Australia, not in those numbers and size anyway.
Hey andy I went camping at coffin bay National Park and I got 3 about 24 cm
+Billydosestuff stuff inches I mean not cm
Andy's Fishing I only catch small flounder out near peel island but nothing to that size
Andy's Fishing we get fairly decent ones down it tas!
lake conjola has some decent sized ones! caught a few about 2 years ago that were about 40cm. haven't gone back since it is so far from sydney....
Love it man. I grew up on this bay. My grandfather and grandmother lived in a lagoon for my entire life. Reminds me of the good ole days.
I live in Florida and used to hang fish off the side like that. Then I started thinking about how many sharks where swimming under me and decided to invest in a kill bag
You catch all this beautiful fish. Time for you to make a few vids of you and your friends cooking some of those up.
Sebastian Inlet in FL has 20-25 Pound flounder at the rocks on South side of inlet. Use a live mullet, toss it out and do not move it...too snaggy...wait for your fish to take you out.
Huge respect to anyone who releases a trophy like that! Salut!
"He's good, well actually he's not good he's going to die" the way you said that really made me laugh.
At the very least, they are called Summer Flounder. Fluke is the common name in the Northeast.
Yup, up here in New England we also have "winter flounder", a very different fish, so we call these babies "Fluke" so the person we're talking to knows which fish we're talking about, or "Summer Flounder" if they don't know what a "Fluke" is.
Well in Louisiana we call them flounder and we stuff them with crab meat so, so so what?
Definitely one of the best TH-cam fishing channels. Great stuff man, keep coming
When I close my eyes tonight I will hear you say "Pec-Fin."
lmao
Cooking and Fishing hi
hi
Cooking and Fishing what's up I had a question for you I go to New Jersey in the summer to my shore house I wast to know if you can tell me the best was to catch flounder in the bay in wildwood crest and what bate to use I tried lest summer and didn't catch anything lol thanks for any info
Love when you bring the Hobie out! Keep it up!!!
Love seeing the flounder swim free. My go to flounder rig ever since I was 10 has been a flourescent no alibi bucktail with a strip of squid.
Meanwhile the black tip shark 🦈 waited patiently below for the released flounder.
OK, newbie question. I get on the bay in MD behind Assateague A few times a year and often thought about draggin the yak with me to fish.

Nice flounder. Why did you bleed the fish ???. And won't Tyne meat spoil in that warn water if you kill the fish.???
I have to head down to NJ , heard you guys are slamming the doormats. Not too much doormatting up here in RI lol
The Bucktail that you are using, can you send me like a closer look up. Maybe by pucs or links. I have never used that kind of rig.
What do you do when a shark comes for your bloody fish hanging in the water? Sometimes I hang my bucket of live shrimp over the side, but let it go out quite a ways away from my kayak.

Lance Cobb i use pliers and some fingernail clippers. I also live in florida, on the west coast. where abouts do you live?
Where are y'all fishing out of? That looks like the ICW out of Aransas pass by random RV park?
Have you ever been halibut fishing? I bet you would love catching one of those monsters.
nope, I wish! thats my dream haha
I can’t believe that you just about got the word out of your mouth about the blue fish strips, and he hammered a 10 lb flounder!!!! And the best- CPR 👏 👍Yessss
Nice... mind teaching us how to make that spiffy knot?
I'm going to be moving to New Jersey soon from way inland, looking forward to the fishing . Thanks for all the great videos. Quick question on bleeding: would it not make sense to put them on the stringer live and then bleed them when you're pulling out and put on ice? Thanks
you should run a sharpie through ur bump board numbers so itll show up better on camera. When you coming back to florida?
Funny you mention the Duke o fluke tournament, I'm watching this just a few hours before I'm heading out for the same tournament. Let hope I have the same luck as you. Tight lines 👍🎣

man the flounder bite is heating up here in Virginia Beach (rudee inlet) got a couple of vids up of it
That is also an interesting spot to fish. I have never seen any one fishing that spot everyone is always fishing the inlet or near the tires.
Great video Chris !!
You by far are my favorite TH-cam channel !!
Please keep the videos coming.
thanks man!
Hey Chris, are you fishing the duke of fluke? I'm going to miss this year, but that's always a good time! Cathy and George are great people! Got my PA14 from them
I want to yes! I havent registered yet but I plan on it!
Ilived in high bar harbor right around the corner from the inlet
Where did you get your fish measure board... That looks nice.
you should make a vid about tackle and how you use it and what fish because im failing at life at this saltwater thing
such tight packed boat to fish lolz
btw have u ever encountered Parasite egg st tail part of flounder, should we throw awaay the fish?
What did he cut on that second one just before putting back into the water for storage. .?awe never mind I just saw how he cut the gills, very smartest What was that between your legs ? It looked like looked like a gator he would have to have brass balls lol. .?
I have a house in LBI are you on Manahawkin side or Barnegat Bay side cause I need me some flounder when I go down this weekend!
How come you cut the gills? I'm from Texas I haven't seen anyone or heard of anyone do that till now only time I will do that is when they swallow the hook too deep
You get to bleed the fish while still alive. Makes for cleaner looking fillets and supposedly tastes better when bled properly as compared to non-bled fish.
I live in Jersey, and the only question I have is, what area are you fishing here? What part of the bay, what channel were you covering by the buoy markers?
sea robin and sand shark are also grate strip bait to use
I've found a strip of atlantic mackerel just on a small jighead does amazing on the winter flounder up my way the blackbacks.
Whats the kayak you're using called? very curious
Mr Dank™ Hobie Revo 13
Nice video, I’m going to try that primo cut peck fin on a buck tail jig.
I love flounder fishing. here in BC we have a couple species of flounder, but Rock Sole is my favorite. those things taste pretty good!
+Lachlan Thistlethwaite sweet we have a few kinds too, these in this vid are the biggest we have. Sole and turbot look sweet too, halibut too would be awesome
halibut are pretty big out here.
Where where you in jersey I have my yak in the water in Pine beach/island heights area!
Hey man, great video. I live in the mid Chesapeake and all I own is a sit in Kayak, do you think its safe to take a sit in kayak in the bay? Also what bait or lures do you suggest for Rockfish [striped bass]
for rockfish down in the chesapeake they seem to like soft plastics on jigheads, also live spot or perch is really good.

+Sea-Money Fishing Alright man, thank you so much
A little pro tip, I use fresh water worm lures on the bucktail to imitate a eel and have better luck with the keepers
Favorite fishing channel 👌🏼💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
In North Carolina you can keep flounder 15inches
I caught my first flounder with a shrimp tied around with red yarn.
Hey man it was cool meeting u last week. Don't know how u and Tan made out but for me it was a little slower than usual, maybe I'll see u again back there sometime. Keep up the awesome vids!
yea good running into you! glad you found your way back there and got some fish! I dont know when Ill be back but keep on fishin man!
NICE!!! Getting a snapper for bait can sometimes be hard too though. Seems like they just aren't as easy to get as they used to be...especially with just a bucktail alone like you did here.
This Kayak is really cool things with pedal, I wish has this when I was younger...
Where is this because i go fishing off spring lake where there is a reef. Thanks
finnaly i kove watching your vods your my favorite fishing youtuber
Get a piece of heat shrink tubing and put it on the end of your string. It will make the end stiff. That will make it easier to push through the fishes mouth. Make it at least six inches long to be able to make it all the way through.
Enjoy your stuff, my brother and I got some outbacks last year and plan on trying flounder this year behind OCNJ. Planning on learning as we go and your vids are helpful.
A nice day onthe water. Thanks for sharing with us.
never thought I'd be watching fishing videos but you make it quite interesting. I even checked out your competition. they grunt and groan too much. you seem like you're having fun. one youtuber to another, good luck with all your future endeavors
Walk With Wally bro check out rokkit kit channel. really great kayak vids, pro like
Enjoyed the video, but why don't you use a conventional stringer with a sharp point and poke it through the bottom jaw instead of that string that you have to force through the gills and out the mouth?
Thanks.
What kind of knot are you attaching your hook with, I don't recognize it...
Im planning on doing the duke of fluke tournament on my Hobie.
question will those flounder lay on top of grass
Great catch, would be cool to see you cook these
Do you know if you can launch a kayak into that bay in Atlantic City? I figured you might know since you fish in NJ a lot
you definitely can, try next to the bridge/old pier in brigantine
man that short to keeper ratio is good. usually in the bay it's like 7-1
Love your vids bro, I just turned 15 and I live in SoCal. Wish the halibut were as abundant down here as they are up there
I am curious as to why you cut the flounders gills then put it on a keeper line and back in the water?
It kills the fish
it bleeds the fish so the meat wont go bad u only have to do that with some fish tho
I believe you are drifting but i notice another boat pick the area . what is so special about the area what is the bottom look like are you drifting in and out of channel , are you deep or shallow i guess about 8 ft . did you catch many junk fish like catfish
Your compadre released a great fish...great ethics...what a guy!!!!
Sandy Hook NJ, the bay is great flounder, fluke, and blue fishing I suggest going there
Hi brother I just starting to kayak fishing where u fishing south jersey by LBI or any suggestions where to go
where exactly is this? would like to find a decent spot without going on a party boat
I've got flounder fever now I'm sick to my stomach!! Great fishing man!! Ryan great release my man true outdoorsman!!
Wow! Some nice flatties brother. Great day on the water.
That stringer would be taxed in NC. So many sharks. Learned that the hard way haha.
where is this in jersey?? great vid man
I'm not into fishing at all but I really do enjoy these videos.
This video is amazing. I have caught striped bass on my kayak, but have not had any luck yet with flounder. I will try again next summer. What type of a rig and bait do you recommend?
I have the same reel (stradic FI?) but what pole is that? I need a more lightweight rod.
Excuse my ignorance but is there any concern of sharks with your fish on a stringer right next to you in the water?
Awesome video. Why do you "bleed" them?
They die quicker
It keeps the meat fresher and it drains the bloodline, which is a favorable tactic when eating most fish.
Do you even have issues with sharks trying to steal your stringer?
Awesome video brother! Where were ya in jersey?
What size Kayak would be good for bay / ocean fishing
Skate is great eating!!! Hope you kept him
