Actually, that was the "tipsy" Grady White boat captain's doing.....you should have seen all the meat he left by not going on each side of the spine first. I just rolled with it. There was plenty of meat regardless. The fillets from ours the next day were much neater
And the beer - you guys would have been proud of me - I drank 1 beer on the boat day 1 on the ride in. I drank 2 on the boat on day 2 on the ride in and when we went flounder fishing I drank every beer in sight
Back at the house was a different story..............
