Check out this Fluke caught yesterday by our own Islander (AKA Kevin) who is a regular on the site. Kevin was out solo anchored up on some sticky stuff doing some explority Togging...
I was out with George and had been in touch with Kevin on and off...When the South wind started howling we headed for the barn and got a call from Kevin... " Just heading around the peer and headed to the marina" and in a matter of fact voice he said " and I got a 14 lb Fluke".
Needless to say George and I wanted to see this fish so we meet Kevin back at Leonardo.
" Changing winds and tides kept me moving off the piece so I decide to do some Bucktailing... I thought it was a Striper at first since it took a long run and I had one follow up my bait before. When it came up on top I said HOLY $HIT!! Now I'm by myself and the net is on the other side of the boat and my big cooler is between me and the net...I kicked the cooler out of the way, got the net, put it on the Boga and it's looking like 14 lbs ".
I snapped a few photos of the fish and couldn't resist taking one with me and texting it to my brother to show him what I caught
Kevin left to go weigh in the fish with Pete at Atlantic Bait and Tackle and texted us back that the official weight was 13.4.
Great fish there Kevin... Congrats and even better, you did it solo.
