Flat fish and the one that got away!

[Detour66]

Went out for fluke yesterday with my Dad. Started in the shallows but no drift so we moved on out toward the channel. Hit a honey hole and caught 3 keepers in a row..wow! After that the tide started moving to fast to jig correctly so left that area. It got super hot (92f) in the bay so we moved to the ocean side. We picked a few shorts and keepers ...nothing great. On the way back to the dock on stopped on a well know spot for big fluke and after the 3rd drift I hooked onto a monster. I started reeling it in but then it felt like I was stuck on the bottom but could feel it's head still shaking. I started up the boat and turned around while keeping pressure on the fish and still feeling it shaking. It was like being stuck but it was a fish. Finally the fish/bottom got loose. Man was I pis...d! Once again....the one that got away. Good luck and tight lines!
