    Default 20 inchers???

    Anybody caught any 20 inchers yet this year? Flounder. Im talkin bout rod and reel, not that gigging bullshit! Biggest I've caught has been 19. I had a big mamma to the boat but she broke through the leader as I was trying to scoop her with the net!

    You had a leader, a net, and u still lost the fish....maybe you should look into that giggin bullshit for more success.
    You can grow up to be just like me....

    I'll let you know Saturday if weather permits. I also have a rendezvous with some extra healthy trout.

    Mono leader...gigging needs to be outlawed! That is the biggest bitch way to catch fish ever! If you can't catch em with a rod and reel stay at home playing video games! If they
    Gonna allow gigging for flounder they might as well allow turkey hunting with rifles!

    Really? This coming from you... Do we need to go back through some of your recent posts?

    I'll gig a flounder in a heart beat, they taste delicious. I enjoy catching them on a rod as well.

    Yall lil frat boys on here think goin out at night with lights and filling the cooler up with flounder makes you a badass. People gig em bc they don't know how to catch them on a rod. I have much more respect for the species than to do that. Fifty plus years ago, gigging would have been ok since there weren't as many people chasing them. If everybody gigged they would wipe them out!

    Have you ever been gigging? By your posts, most giggers would assume not.

    No I have not. I have however seen a lot of Facebook posts from people who have their entire decks covered in flounder from gigging that do it pretty regularly. Must be feeding the entire family plus the neighborhood.

    No gigging flounder on the Carolina coast? Say what?

    Would it be ok if we still set crab traps?
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    You need to keep your ass in the upstate.

    I'm from the upstate and I was gigging flounder in the 1960s. My cousin who retired as a Major in the Marine Corps got me started sticking them back when he was stationed at Parris Island.

    I wouldn't know how to be a frat boy if I wanted to.

    Yea, gigging is unsportsmanlike but hiding a hook in their food is manly and requires skill.

    I don't think so. Cotton sent me a pm a while back about donating some rabbits for a wild game supper we had at church. I never got the rabbits, and that is something that Tater wouldn't have done. That is to just not say anything else about it. I think Tater would've at least told me that it wasn't going to work out this time, and not left me hanging to wonder what was going on.

    We live in opposite ends of the state. I told you if I got to go down there I would bring you some. You never said if you came up my way any. PM's work both ways. I would have been happy to donate for a good cause, just never made it down that way before you needed them.
