Poll On Largest Fluke Ever Caught

[Life's A Beach]

PB are nice; even better if on the "right" day! ...but u "no" the old saying, even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile.

consistently catching quality-size fish is the key. they move, conditions change and how they're chewing vary and the fisherman must adapt.

that all said and admitting that while i enjoy the run of a striper.............the HEAD SHAKE of a fluke and knowing that if you don't do everything right or she gets off (coupled with the warmth of fishing in shorts) makes this my favorite specie to fish for.

they aint bad eating either

#9.8 on the Sea Girt reef on a bucktail with a strip. Did lose what I think was a bigger on boatside when I was a kid.

Caught several #8s.

Somewhere between 9.8, and 10.1. I tell everybody it was a 10.
July of 2010. Off Sandy Hook near the candlesticks. I have pictures.

Kneeling next to the gunnel. Crappy old scale. The fish started to shake
and I was shaking too from excitement. I thought he was gonna go over the side.
Into the fishbox he went. Then the high-fives were exchanged.
My brother and another friend are witnesses. Don't know why we never weighed him again at the dock. Maybe to allow him to grow over the years.

Have been fluke fishing on and off for quite a while. Some years more than others depending on work and family obligations.
Got a few 6's & 7's over time.
On my bucket list is a 12 pounder. Maybe this year.

Tight lines all.

I like this poll, it puts my 6.5# PB (weak, I know) in the same category as legit doormats.
