My First Big Doormat Flounder

IMG_7213

I fish 90% of the time with bottom rigs because I have problems with my hands that make it hard to plu for extended periods of time. Imagine my surprise when shortly after learning to plug with a slow sinker jig I hooked up with this beauty. I had only cast a few times and didn’t even know flounder would bite a jig. It is 18″ long and is 2lb. 5.5oz.
