Ha! Good one.

Only if it’s a box fish, John releases the small and big ones. Much respect!

John releases a lot of fluke too! He does post nice video of them being caught!

Hahahah!

We did still manage to get out a little bit and got a couple fish so I have a pile of crabs for tomorrow if the weather is good. I mark ALOT of big fish, but I'm sure you know how currents at times which require you to put more than 12 ounces on and still have trouble holding bottom it's going to be very difficult to feel the togs biting your crab. Even with braid and single hook jigs. Great fluke video! Tight lines!!! Water mid sound dropped 5 degrees since last Monday (11days) ! Hope to get another trip tomorrow

I've heard that's a real nice rod for this fishing.

Daiwa Proteus, really? can you say over kill! rod was meant for long range fishing, 18" fore grip, the rods some people use for fluke is beyond me, also some you tubers use 2 speed reels for fluke and tog, smh.

Fluke Whisperer it’s only a 6 and a half foot pole with a large fore grip for jigging... not really good for casting

I see too much yes it’s the ss

The big ones taste great, although I personally prefer the thinner fillets of the smaller ones.

@@JohnSkinnerFishing thanks John. I think my largest is only about 6 caught in VA. As I live in Buffalo I don't see any in my immediate future. Happy holidays. Thanks for the videos

zack tivey because they are fluke not halibut lol

They release about 50 percent of the fish they catch and when you gaff fish you have a high risk of damaging the meat and killing the fish! Netting is safer on the fish!

My "new" one is an aluminum starcraft.

I use both. The H in the ocean, the MH in smaller waters. The H is the better all-around choice. I think 100 vs 101 is right vs left-hand retrieve.

@@JohnSkinnerFishing appreciate the response back. I know no one that likes to fish and im an addict who will stay out all day long every chance I get out. I try to learn everything i can from your videos. I was a large mouth bass angler for last 4 years. I gave Salt a try and started fluking late summer and im addicted! Gave up fresh water. I started at manasqauan inlet at the wall for the month of July but got tired of catching a ton of shorts and robbins. Did my first party boat on the Big Mohawk 1st week of August and got my 1st keeper! Actually i double limit (caught 1st 3 keepers in 2hrs on the 8hr trip) catching 6 all between 22-24", a few shorts, 1 skate, 2 seabass and 2 robin. Not bad for a 1st party boat trip. Deck crew said i caught the most keepers were shocked for being my 1st trip they said. I also put on my big boy pants and braved the fear of sharks finally lol. Since I also heard sandy hook/raritan is a breeding ground for great whites. Took my Old Town PDL kayak out into sandy hook/ raritan about 5 times late august and up to last day of fluke season. Not much luck but shorts, robbins, puffer fish and something took my line as my drag raced off and was screaming. However it came off my hook after i started realing in. Living much closer to Barnegat and Shark River/Belmar. I'll be spending a lot more time in my kayak out there once the season opens. When they move out to deeper ocean ill hit party boats later on. Sorry for long comment lol. Again, thanks for what you do that helps others!

I appreciate your comment and glad my stuff helps you out.

Hey John what about the XH? Ocean-wise if you only have 1 rod, do you recommend the XH over the H? Only fluke on party boats in LI. Thanks.

I don't like the XH for less than 5 ounces. For one rod I'd get one of these and trim 4 inches from the tip. bit.ly/2BhfkV5 It's the only rod I used on my last couple of trips.

Doubt it. I used the fixed hook ones on the smaller weights.

Thanks John! @@JohnSkinnerFishing

I release all of my stripers, most of my blackfish, almost all of my big fluke. We eat these.

Cry baby
