PB Flounder

What a fight!

Crap. Wish you could delete images.

Nice work! Can’t wait to get back down to FL for some more fishing.

Pug,
Did you release it or is it hitting the grease?

Thanks, but no. No redos. I flubbed it. The weird thing is I can’t see the image again looking at it now.

Oh I can’t get anything past you guys.

So is no one seeing the pict now? Not that reposting the pict now will help the joke.

Dammit I was looking for the dang photo and posted the wrong one now.

Oh I give up.

I should have looked closer.! Ya the top picks are gone

Nice ray. How are you holding it and how do you keep from getting stung? I’ve caught a couple over the years on the beach in Texas, but I’m not getting near that stinger. I just cut the line.

Crikey!

I used to think the same thing until I saw people including kids holding them.

Landing them and getting in the boat is the most dangerous part. Once you land them or while you are landing them flip them on their back. You have to anyway to get the hook out. Then flip them on their belly and they have horns behind their eyes. Grab them by those, kind of like when dopes grab pike by their eye sockets. You can get a very good grip this way. Lift it keeping it a safe distance away from your body as possible.

It’s important to remember the stinger is at the base of the tail, not the tip. And it’s more like a serrated knife than a stinger.

I’ve found them to be pretty docile out of water. It’s not like they can flop around on the ground like a fish.

It doesn’t have a stripe down it’s side.

Are you late for photography class??

Gopher tortoise visited today. First time I have seen one in the neighborhood.

With or without the stripe!
