"The universe wasn't done fucking with me just yet"....classic

The absolute best flounder content I’ve seen on YouTube my hook up ratio has doubled just watching how this gent fish’😊

Roger I dont think Ive ever heard you swear before. I distinctly heard you say the "S" word when describing the wind conditions. I also think I heard a "F Bomb" on a swing and a miss on the net with a pig of a fish :) I honestly think you could catch fish in a flooded pothole. You are truly amazing. The technique you have pioneered and mastered should be a standard for any serious fluke angler.

Nice recap and good on ya for teaching him the method!

That was some crazy stuff....netting a fish with a flimsy net while holding the rod in the other hand from 20' up :face-blue-wide-eyes:

I can totally relate to the tangle situation, I would have asked him to " open the bail /reel" somehow pointing to my reel. I have found that if go slack doesn't work usually open the bail or open the reel does.

The tail net master 🤣 intense video

Thanks for the upload.

Lmfao! The universe was not done fucking with me yet! Hilarious quote Roger , and you apologized? Lol😂

OMG BRO! I was totally stressed out also watching that. Don't be too hard on yourself 😅

Just bought a pack of spinners excited to use them

"but of course the universe was not done fucking with me just yet" XD lmao, you handled everything well especially the net job. I couldnt imagine the patience it takes to use something that floppy and a small hoop size. You ever consider making a drop net, or modifying that telescoping net to just have a wider hoop and deeper netting?

Another great video...I've learned so much from watching

I appreciate your content, how mindful the educational bits are communicated. I'm on the west coast in the SF bay area and a bass fisherman who just moved close to the bay. I've been learning from your content, as it's far easier to get out to a jetty or pier in the bay than a fresh water pond/lake where I live. Do you reckon these jigging techniques translate to pacific Halibut? I figure they would, given they're both flatfish who presumably both ambush their prey. I don't know how the west coast beach structure would differ from northeast regarding open surf fishing for halibut, everyone out here seems to use white paddle-tail swimbaits with a steady retrieve, are they missing out on the light jig action? I've also been trying to decide between a collapsible drop-net or a telescopic net for the high rock jetties and piers around here - and was wondering if you had any thoughts on the subject.

Netting on that pier looks like hell, and stressful without a solid net 😅

I definitely have to get my line tangled with yours so I can get a few tips 😅 I have thick skin 😂 I need to get up there ..either you guys have a better fishery or my technique can use a once over

I love this spot your fishing in it is also one of my favorite fluke spots in my rotation and also schoolie bass and blues at night (idk if ur interested in that) but i was wondering y u dont use a pier landing net like they use in florida i feel like its easier to use and is probably just as portable

In the end you did make a new friend still caught fish and just a upgrade in a pier net and you'll be back to killing it heads up

What are your thoughts about the new shimano vanford 24?
