mikemud3 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 So I want to know what is the biggest Fluke anyone on the town tavern forum has caught. What kind of tackle were you using and was it in deep water . Did you use circle hooks.How much test line. Did you use braid and Florocarbon leader? Did you use a bait casting reel like Abu-Garcia 6500C3 and what kind of material and what line test? Where did you catch that monster? Remember no Fish stories, just the truth. mikemud3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penn 310 reel on a Penn Mariner rod 50lb test green power pro with a 40lb Ande mono leader of about 3 feet. 3 oz bucktail with a squid strip 60 feet of water from a boat Somewhere off the coast of RI Anger is no more a requirement of killing, than fear is a requirement of dying. Today I will do what others won't so tomorrow I can do what others can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Brian Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 About .5 grams and well over an inch. Caught it off a piece of Watercress in a chicken salad sandwich at 500/600 ft above sea level. Nasty little **** he was...

I did hear that if you want the big ones then go deep like you did. What color bucktail? Did you get him while on a head boat? Are you going out this year for Fluke? mikemud3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my own boats for years but am currently without so no, I won't be doing much fluking from my canoe... Anger is no more a requirement of killing, than fear is a requirement of dying.
