Sean I can't go Sunday because one of my trailer bunks shifted and dropped down so the boat now sits cockeyed on the trailer ::) The brackets and U-bolts are rusted and pretty much history, so tomorrow me and my buddy are planning some trailer rework. I got all brand new bunk brackets & hardware and hopefully this wont be too much of a pain in the buttocks.

BTW that fluke is freakin huge too! Both of those fluke look like the size of halibut. Maybe one of these days either you, Kevin, or myself will be so blessed to catch a monster like that. :-/

Kevin, where so you buy the Spro jigs?

Re: The true meaning of "Doormat"
 

DOORMAT FLUKE.
reserved for any and all fluke 10 pounds and over.
7, 8 and 9 pounders are all big but cannot be considered a true doormat.
that 24 pounder. . . . . phukking super doormat.

I like what they call big halibut in Alaska......barn doors! This one is an area rug!

Re: The true meaning of "Doormat".  
 

Well, they sell them at the shop at my marina but they also carry them at Walmart around here.....I know Capt Don's in Charlestown, RI has them also up to 6 oz. Depending on how you get to Pt Judith that could be on your way. My buddy works there and gave me a 6 oz jig ($7) that I promptly lost after using it about 10 minutes. I usually use 4 oz with a teaser tied about a foot up and 2-3 feet back.

Them fish are great!! But the 14 looks biggher then the 24!!

My biggest was 13# and 36" long.

But because some jerks at DMF there is no more Fluking here in Ma. as of last Wed.
Can't wait for the hearings this winter!! What As-hol-o closes fishing in Aug??

MJ, That's so ridiculous that they did that in Mass. I wish they would set limits/regulations all the same for all states. Why is it, we up here in New England have a 19" minimum length for fluke and further south the limits are smaller? To me it should all be the same for the east coast all the way from Maine down to Florida >:(

Whale, Thanks for the info and I will stop next time when I am in the area down there. Charlestown isn't that far off my route.

That fluke from the Cape was caught on Hairball charters. Captain Eric "Hairball" Stapelfeld runs it out of Falmouth, MA The rig it was caught on was one of his own fluke rigs. My buddies fish on his boat and they always tell me they get fish everytime they go out with him. I also agree that it does look much bigger then the other one for some reason.
