Thanks for the feature John! The wound is healing nicely, have a nice scar and a great story to tell now!
I'm glad you're OK! You were so calm. That had to really hurt.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing it absolutely did! I would put the pain of the removal above a root canal or infected tooth
Right. I met him once and all I got was a signed book!😂
Doc wearing the scrubs to the tournament is crazy 😂😂
He earns his nickname 😂
Halk playing possum then telling Rick to get out of the way on his own boat. Priceless!!! 🤣🤣🤣
That's my little brother. Thanks for helping him, John.
I've made two ER visits for hook removal in my life. It's no fun. Your brother handled it very well.
Matt's a great guy! Taught me alot in both freshwater and saltwater. We've spent ALOT of time on the water together.
Miss ya bud hope the south is treating ya well!
Good to see all you fishing on the same boat, no Sweeney. I was rooting for Doc he usually comes through in these games. I always thought big Fluke are caught out there in the Spring.
A caught fish is a caught fish, fowl or fairly hooked. Unless there’s a stipulation in the tournament rules, I wouldn’t worry about it. We’re too honest, Skinner. I used to call penalties on myself when I golfed competitively.
Super day on the boat !
Thx for sharing 🙏🇺🇸
Here in Hampton VA the flounder around shore have been tiny. I caught 3 yesterday and my buddy caught a couple, and others were caught on the pier. I didn't see any over 10". My buddy caught a keeper in May when the minimum was 16". Now it's 17.5" and I feel like catching a keeper is a serious challenge without a boat. Changing the size during the year is silly in my opinion, but it's better than NC. They're not having a recreational flounder season at all this year. We can keep them all year in VA, if we can get a legal one.
No sea robbins? That's a blessing in itself.
Nice clean water that helps alot!
Wow, the shelter Island ferry remember being on that as a kid. Great video.
Me too father had a house there! Best years of my life!
Nice rickset in his habitat
Boy do I miss fluke tournaments.
Love the incognito net job lol
We need more aluminum out on the salt! There's a reason it is all you see in PNW and up in AK.
Interesting point.
Should count
if you get the fish in the boat, it's a catch! even if it's foul hooked, you know it was coming after your bait. you did the work, you got the interest, and you hooked em! I've had flurries, especially during slack or the very end of the tide, where it seems like the fish just lay on the jig and end up foul hooked.
regardless of how you hook it, you still have to fight it off the bottom, get it in the net, and on the boat. it's a valid catch in my book!
Mr. Skinner, I would take a hook right through the lip to go fishing with you great video.
Talking about other boats crowding ?
I can come to an empty body of water and pick a spot maybe start catching fish. When other boats see the net, with an hour you’re surrounded by boats. So bail out and move,,, find some fish someone sees the net, and you’re surrounded by boats again…
Repeat,repeat,repeat
Same thing with Hunting. When someone sees you setup,, you got others within 300 yards within hours,,, it’s very frustrating and negatively affects both groups success and quality outing.
We joke that amongst us experienced folks that we spend more time working to avoid others than working to find successful spots.
haha nice day fluking
If you don't foul hook the fish intentionally alls good the fish came after your bait
Agreed from a legal perspective, but I was relieved when Rick caught a larger fish so it was no longer a question for the contest. But I think you're correct for the contest too.
I was out there yesterday looking to fish in that area but with the heavy west winds it looked like the Bering sea.
Fluke has been tuff so far this year
This past week was good in Long Island Sound.
At least the weekfish is looking good this year
Contest Organizer / sanctioning organization has no problem with it being foul hooked ….then you are good to go. IMO. Local contests can set their own parameters.
What are you up to I can't leave it, keep videoing
What kind of doctor is doc
dentist
Where was the 10lb’r caught? Inside or out in the ocean?
Who carries extra large wire cutters when fluke fishing?
There goes John H. again! You need to go to the hospital! To get rid of the competition. I laugh hysterically at what John H. said when someone he was fishing with got hooked the hand. John H. tells him "you don't look so good" "you better go sit in the cabin" Then he goes and takes the guys prime spot at the rail. What are friends for?
This time when Mr. Halkias finds out the other boat is not in the competition. He sends them out as probe for fluke. ;-)
I had noticed that your links for the bucktails from JandH are not posted , and older links no longer work , no longer being made ?
They'll be back soon. Supply-chain issue.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing cool thank you . Any chance you do a Headboat video again ever ?
2 or 3 oz bucktails? When are your bucktails coming back?
Around a month.
the boyys
I think that's the second hook impalement rescue you've done in as many weeks Mr. Skinner. Probably not a bad idea that all fishermen should get their tetanus booster preseason as a matter of course.
What is with all the secrecy? I have never understood it.
It's a contest.
If the tournament rules say it’s a legal catch then I don’t see the issue. They get hooked outside the mouth all the time and it’s not giving you an unfair advantage since everyone else is going to keep one like that too since it’s part of the rules. People often have an unfounded and biased system of ethics when it comes to fishing. Inherently, mortality is part of fishing even with catch and release (discard mortality is more significant than most people would like to acknowledge). You’re better off keeping a potentially injured fish that might later suffer from post release mortality. In my opinion, releasing a foul hooked fish doesn’t make fishing more ethical. It’s fishing-the goal is to catch fish. There’s no real reason that it’s more ethical for them to be hooked in the mouth vs. a fish that attempted to eat the jig and got hooked just outside the mouth if your intention is to keep and eat it.
Great input. Thanks.
It's not like intentionally snagging fish. People used to "snitch" snook in FL during really cold weather because they get really slow and swim in shallow canals. It had to be banned a long time ago because it was so easy. That kind of thing is wrong, in my opinion. But hooking a fish in the head that tries to eat your bait isn't cheating. It's not intentional. There's no attempt to cheat.
What kind of structure or tides or depths do you generally look for when fluke fishing?
Edges with current. Specific tides are very spot-dependent.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing thanks for the response and help. I live in New Hampshire and fish out of the piscataqua River which is fast deep bedrock with some sandy flats here and there. Is it better to be in the back Bay or closer to the ocean generally speaking?
Assuming you have fluke that far north, I'd be closer to the ocean.
@@JohnSkinnerFishingwhen I was in Sweden I saw a whole bunch of different kinds of flat fish. Some were more round like sole and I saw some that looked like the ones you catch. They have halibut too, I've seen videos of people spearing big ones in Norway. I'm thinking they could have some different ones than you're used to farther north in the States too.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing I know we get flounder
The IGFA rules call for a disqualification if the fish is intentionally foul hooked. Let your conscience be your guide, personally I would be good with keeping and entering it if it was head hooked. Tail hooked, no.
Thanks for that info. IGFA is strict. I'm surprised they'd accept any entry that wasn't in the mouth. That pretty much settles it for me.
That's some kind of luck ending up with a lure in the ear. I read that comment from a few videos back. That's one way to end up on RUclips
@JohnSkinnerFishing226 I'm the Victor of a giveaway?
I don’t care if it jumped in the boat. 😅. It’s a catch
Foul hooked is not the same as snagging....one is intentional, the other is not. The fish you caught definitely falls under foul hooked, unintentional, keeping it like you did - fine by me
Thanks for that input.
In a contest I think it should be in the mouth only
Fowl hooking fish is intentionally striking/targeting the body of the fish with a hook. An angler is hitting the fish,
Not entice the fish to hit the hook.
In sport fishing an angler is luring a fish to HIT a disguised or baited hook, very different from snag fishing where a fisher is striking a fish with a hook.
To me, it’s easy. That fish was foul hooked and should have been released. Anything outside the mouth is foul hooked. Anything foul hooked is not legitimately caught and should be let go. This always applies. I think John leans this way and that’s why he felt so guilty.
Thanks for that viewpoint. I only felt uneasy with respect to the contest. The fish was caught legally, and in this case where I'm looking to eat the catch, I see no point in throwing back a fish with a body injury. This was actually the first fish I kept for the table since sheepshead fishing in Florida in the winter.
After years of fishing Fluke till you Puke… a foul hooked fishing would be the least of my worries! Now with all these tournament cheaters being caught, it supports that more times than you would like to believe, BIG MONEY tournaments are won by cheating!
This is a really bad take lol
A 5.7 pound fish better not win
