Im on my sister's computer. My name is Tom I just got back from our 2 day Capt special on the Helen H we do it every year. We never had a bad trip on the Helen H . Easy over limits. My big fish of the trip was a 8.1lb Fluke . Pool was 10lb . That's unfortunate the 12 lber went over the rail. That's so strange
@@donnapeters8426 standard practice on that boat. They gaff all of flounder that would be keepers. Most likely to save the hassle of rigs getting tied up in the nets cause they stay on fish quite actively.
Sorry that's nuts. I've been on packed boats and everyone is catching and only 4or 5 mates on deck. NOBODY gaffs fluke. Lines getting caught in nets isn't an excuse there is no big tangles. It's quicker to net and no chance of knocking the fish off. I wouldn't want a hole in my fluke or the chance of them lose my fish esp if it's a pool contender.
Ok, doesn't this boat have a net? You are going to tell me that they are gaffing fluke?? So your keeper fluke have gaff holes in the fillets if they get it in and don't knock it off with the gaff, better yet, if a fluke is caught that turns out to be just short, it has been released with a big gaff hole in it?

Awesome! Really fun. Keep it up!
So with the 12lb flounder jumping over, did jeff still win the pool? Wasn't his fault, sort of reflects on the mates imo
It's all the mates fault, who gaffs fluke?
