I've caught three of them like the top one. Hard as the dickens to land, but you just have to take your time. I have a folding landing net that stows into a holster on my belt. I let the fish completely wear himself out and then pull the net out and land him.
Two of them I caught were really memorable. The golf course on the other side of the swash has a lightening alarm. As soon as I hooked those two fish that alarm went off, so I'm standing in water with my rod tip up for 5 minutes playing this fish that's nearly the size of a trash can lid and there's no way I'm letting loose!
I had to get the kitchen staff to freeze them because they wouldn't fit in a standard size refrigerator.
To get access to the kitchen, I had to go to the visitors center. There was a young lady that worked there for number of years and remembered me, from one year to the next. The third time I took a flounder in to freeze she saw me coming and said "Oh Lawd, it's the flounder man. We gonna have a hurricane!"
Absolutely precious!
