No wonder she's hauled up sinks. This woman could do that schtick from the Jaws movie where they snag the underwater power line and feed it to the shark. When she does snag bottom she either cuts her line with a bolt-cutter or moves the bottom.Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09245646229814895145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-26558107632020629662007-08-20T16:46:00.000-06:002007-08-20T16:46:00.000-06:00Knuck,I enjoyed the story - especially the part ab...Knuck,<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed the story - especially the part about her lack of surprise at seeing whatever she hauled up. Bottom fishing will do that.Rick Ballardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11082425215912372067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-19812267636282630672007-08-20T15:27:00.000-06:002007-08-20T15:27:00.000-06:00Yuppers, Skook, some folk call fluke "summer floun...Yuppers, Skook, some folk call <A HREF="http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/flukefct.htm" REL="nofollow">fluke</A> "summer flounder". <BR/><BR/>I do also, Rick. But there's something about this story that just made me happy all danged day. Made me laugh. Can't explain it. Used to fish for those guys with my dad when I was a kid. One time we were out for about two hours and caught nearly 100 of the suckers. Dropping lines with multiple hooks and bringing multiple fish back up. There was no size limit back then - if it was worth fileting you kept it. Now they have to be 10 inches, IIRC.<BR/><BR/>The same woman apparently holds, or held, the world record <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weakfish" REL="nofollow">weakfish</A>. <BR/><BR/>As I was chuckling about the story this morning I pointed it out to my Better-Two-Thirds who immediatly responded, "Heh, I know Monica. I'll bust her chops today if I see her."Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09245646229814895145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-69804327625231452352007-08-20T14:55:00.000-06:002007-08-20T14:55:00.000-06:00Knuck,I prefer MHA's pictures.Knuck,<BR/><BR/>I prefer MHA's pictures.Rick Ballardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11082425215912372067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-82720676786249566492007-08-20T13:47:00.000-06:002007-08-20T13:47:00.000-06:00Hey Knuck - a fluke is a flounder, right, or is it...Hey Knuck - a fluke is a flounder, right, or is it something else?
