Floundas!

I'd love to see a pic of it, I've never seen one. How deep was it?

In my 5ish years of diving Ive seen 2. They arent common down this way but they do exist. The ones I have seen are hiding in the most blatantly obvious spots....

whats a moose

Were they hiding pretty well or were they easy to spot? I've never seen them down here.

What is the legal size?
I have heard that there is a species that will make you sick?
Any way to tell while they are sanded?

I see them all the time and don't shoot them cos I don't know enough

Also, how do you brain them?
Clean them?
Cook them?

How I am a stack of ignorance here

If you notice the line that is above the gill plate towards the fishes mouth (about an inch in front of the blade tip in the photo). Put your knife at the beginning of the line and press in and chop down. You'll hear a crunch if you're in the right spot. This kills the fish as well as bleeds it. Also you can poke the fish down by it's tail on the line to bleed it the rest of the way. This is how sushi grade flounder is prepared by commercial fisherman. Oh yeah both cuts/pokes are done on the bottom side of the fish.

Judah I believe its 12". I was able to catch one by putting my hand in front of him and spooking him enough that he would move on top of my hand which made it easy enough to grab him. The second one I just stabbed with my knife. They are about as skittish as lionfish...

Nice. You working tomorrow man

Finally spotted one today cause he decided to move. His eyes were the only thing sticking out of the sand about 5 yards from the shore. He was only around 4-5" though.
