10 lb New Jersey Kayak Flounder C+R

[Romo]

Just got around to editing this video from a few weeks back and thought I'd share. I've been praying for a 10 lb flounder for yearsssss and have been targeting them hard for the past few from my kayak without breaking 6 lbs. I finally did it a couple weeks ago and was lucky enough to have the GoPro rolling.

Indeed! Can you show me the type of rig you use for flounder fishing? I'll be spending some time in the OBX this year and wouldn't mind trying to find a few.

Gorgeous fish Ryan! Prayers and hard work bro! That's the way to do it!

My flounder rig when I am fishing in deeper water and heavier current (this day it was 30 feet with a 2kt current) is very light braid like 10 lb powerpro and about 3 feet of 15 lb fluorocarbon leader. I use minnow style bucktails with just enough weight to drift somewhere between .5-1.5 kts and sometimes will tie a dropper loop 12-18 inches above my bucktail to attach a teaser hook and small gulp swimming mullet. I will tip the bucktail with either larger profile gulp or fresh fish strips if I can get them.
