My buddy's son Vaughn is a Flounder fishing maniac. To me a day on the salt with a kid having fun is better than catching anything ten times bigger.

The kid has the fever.





















And a small bonus








Keep up the good work Vaughn!

Vaughn just does it for fun and 90% of them are released. My buddy keeps one once in a while and uses a flashlight to inspect the fish and fillets before cooking.

Not for me though... I'll just keep putting them back.

Be sure to review the upcoming requirement for having a descender device on board and ready to deploy when bottomfishing in Puget Sound even in the very unlikely event of hooking a rockfish when targeting flatfish such as sole or flounder.

Understood.

But for conversations sake, we are usually in about three feet
of water.

I know - but the "one size fits all no matter how improbable the need" is a recipe for folks overlooking the requirement and being cited.
