Game Wardens pulled us over one day and checked the boat and all the safety gear, and measured all of our fish. They said we had the largest and most of anyone they'd checked that weekend. (And they check every fucking boat). So we made the best of a bad situation. Flounder is good eating- compare to halibut on the west coast.
