Fluke season over???? absurd!!!
« on: September 18, 2007, 08:33:33 PM »
Went out on a bottom fishin trip for porgy and seabass on oceanexplorer.  My friends nick named me "bergall master" because thats all i caught all day!!!! 

Around 2 pm I get somthing really heavy, thinking it was nice seabass or black fish I was surprised to see a fluke come to the surface.  This was the biggest fluke I have ever caught in my life!!! on a no.1 porgy hook nonetheless.  It had to be at least 25-27 inches and pretty fat sucker. 

I couldnt even take a picture of it because the mate unhooked it and before i could even say hold on, the fish was back in the water!  :-\    I guess thats my luck, I only caught handful of keepers during the season, now I catch my biggest one ever and it has to go back and i couldnt even take a picture of it!!  After that incident i caught few more bergalls and we headed back in.
