30 inches!! What a great fight!! I could barley take the picture!!!
I like the first picture better.
Thanks man!! It was just real difficult to take the picture!! The Hali was huge!! On the second pic Iโm extending my arms as far as I can!! Hereโs a video!
Nice fish. I am sure it was a good fight to land it.
Thank you!! He was pulling drag couldnโt stop it!! Kinda burned my finger !!๐๐๐ผ
Like all good things, some pain is a small price to pay for such a great experience.
We call those doormats! Yummm!

If Practically identical to our east coast Fluke (summer flounder) except for the size...Fluke seldom exceed ten pounds. Anything over 7-8 pounds is a doormat. Those big flat bodies can generate a lot of power for a slug-it-out fight.
Yes they are similar with a few differences!!! And yes they pull down to the sand or mud with a lot of power with those flat bodies!!
