- This is how 2nd place in a Summer Flounder (Fluke) fishing tournament took home the big money! Making it onto the leader board in very windy and choppy conditions took a lot of effort to control the drift.

Best part of the video was watching all those Big Beautiful Stripers at the dock coming up to feed on the discarded scraps.
I just love the banter on a boat. Nothing like being out on the water with the boys. The disappointment, excitement, stories. It’s the best
I'm glad you get it! Some don't.
If they don't busy your balls do they really like you?
haha shots fired at 19:06 - congrats to you and the blu jay, looked like an exciting day
And no one coming to our defense lol
@Jigging Jerks You did an awesome job that day - of holding my camera while I collected the prize money!
@@JohnSkinnerFishing that’s cold Skinner lol
Congratulations
congratulations
Thats awesome! These seem very in color to the california halibut. Im on west coast
Congratulations on the win!
You are the man John Skinner!
Great work Mr Skinner
Awesome video guys, congrats!
Bay boat I fish for flounder half trips out of Margate has some huge stripers waiting for what’s left over too! Fun to watch! Also just got the dark matter and paired it with the accurist reel! Absolutely love it!
Enjoy that rod and thanks for your support!
Looks like You need to make some strip baits out of fluke skins for stripers!
Quite good . Watching from Scotland .
Great video
Title is misleading. I thought there was some shananigans afoot. Something akin to those Walleye cheaters. The reality is much better.
Hopefully a good lesson about handling contender fish in a contest as well as the risks of not participating in a tournament's calcutta.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing ive never understood fishing a tournament and not getting in all the side bets, it makes no sense. Happy you won it all John.
Thanks for understanding. I hate the whole thumbnail/title emphasis on YT.
Money does strange things to people. John is too much of a stand-up guy to do something stupid like that.
Click bait is a helluva drug
Nice slabs
The fluke fishing here from shore is tough in middle California. I need to save up for a boat but first I need a car that can pull a boat 😢 the jetties this year have been barren
One of the more exciting vids you’ve posted. Congratulations
Damn no cheaters lol
We had our 9th Annual Flounder Tournament here in Avalon Manor, NJ on Saturday and the 20-25+ mph winds out of the west made for a very tough day, especially once the tide started rolling back into the channels and sounds. We boated only 11 fish with just one of them making it to the weigh station. Great video, John!
If you did a video tutorial on how to look for ledges and what youre doing on the plotter to help setup your drift that'd be extremely helpful!
It’s pretty self explanatory. Tight depth edges on the chart then go over w the sonar
@@marcopugliese5946 "go over it with the sonar" what does that even mean? There's a lot more that goes into it than just looking at the chart and looking at the bottom machine...I would like John's perspective as he's a really good teacher.
I'm trying to keep the boat on a part of the slope that often produces for me in this particular location. The contour lines on the plotter show the areas of interest, but only experience gives a clue on how to fish it. If in a new area fluking I'm looking for slopes, and this applies to many species.
WoooHooo! Winner Winner Fluke Fish Dinner!
My favorite video of yours thus far! There needs to be someone next to you ready with the net for these contests. Great suspense in this video. Congratulations on winning the jackpot! Plus second place. It's really nice to see the time you put into catching these fish really pay off here. You're a good friend to split the prize evenly.
Lol john that might of been the biggest smile i ever seen on you when they told you the first place winner wasnt in the cal cutter 😂😂😂 awesome win john !!!!
A couple of Doormats...!!!
Wow been following this fellow for quite some time as one fisherman to another he has taught me so much through video god bless you Mr. Skinner it would be a dream come true to be half the fisherman you are
So the Calcutta was an extra pot, that the team entered, but the 1st place team did not? John mentioned 500 to enter, I take it the 1st place team paid a lot less?
Perfect description. My fault for not clarifying in the narration.
@johnskinner...holy crap dude! Nice win...not to rain on the parade but the best oart is spending time on that boat with good friends.
Any reason why these tournaments don’t judge based on length and width to ensure accuracy so a stuffed fish full of baitfish are not winners?
Nothing wrong done here. The fish ate well. If you want to eliminate legit stomach comments from a contest, then maybe they could only weigh fish after they were gutted, but I've never heard of anything like that.
Congrats, that was awesome. Would love to see more of this. The comrodity on the boat, the good natured spirit at the weigh in. Looks like everyone had a great time. Can't wait to see the next video
@@davidparker667 rite, that two.
Congrats on the win boys!!! What a great experience for the youngin too! Got a fisherman for life now
congratss thats awesomeee
What was the calcutta all about? Side bets please explain. thanks
That's my fault. I really needed to explain that. In many fishing (and other) contests, there are Calcuttas, which are kind of like side bet pools. You can enter the contest for a fairly reasonable fee and be in the running for the contest prizes. The real money is typically in the Calcuttas, but it usually costs more to participate in those than in the contest itself. In this particular contest I've never seen a first place winner not be in the Calcutta. It rarely, if ever, happens, which led to the confusion as they were handing out prizes. Luckily for us the 1st place contest fish did not enter the Calcutta. They probably won $1000, whereas we got the "big" money of $6700. Thanks for asking.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing how much $ to join the Calcutta ?
calcutta is where the money is made! John Skinner Living legend!!!!!
Dinnah's on Skinnah!
Awesome comment.
WE GOT FISH IN FISH!
Love watching you northern guys as a Florida boy . Man i want to catch some big stripers
Awesome video. Congratulations
Great Fishing! Congratulations on the prize!
Calcutta for the WIN!!!!! Skinner for the Winner!!!
What drifting speed are you looking for MPH?
.7-1.3
Thanks John!
Can’t wait to move up to Jamesport in 2 weeks and get some fishing in. Very excited! Also congratulations on the win, great to watch
Beautiful
Well done! Nice bag AND fluke fillets. :)
Congrats John all your knowledge and experience is deserving of your win
Three nice fish in one drift is not bad you could say it was a fluke 🤣
It wasn't a fluke....He wasn't shellfish or crabby, he just went fishing for the halibut
i dont understand what happened, but whatever. your title got me to watch i guess. "we got weights in fish!!!!!"
Sounds like she's blowing a gale congrats on dat $$ an # 13 my lucky number to bty lol
Nice work John, always on your A game.
Hey that last picture you sent of Katy is magazine cover material! Congrats again all around to you guys. I updated my FaceBook post this morning to include South Shore Tackle. I initially didn't realize that a Poison Tail wasn't a unique name to Mike.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing thanks again John. 👍
Wow you finally won . Nice of you to help Rick out as an extra fishing rod. I'm sure the guys you fished with in the previous tournaments really appreciated you helping out a fellow angler. Nifty trick keeping the mouth closed on that winning fluke. It showed how aggressive those fish are, whole porgies and a small weakfish in it's stomache.
Yeah, all that in its stomach and it still wanted a 6-ounce bucktail with a 6-inch grub!
@@JohnSkinnerFishing I got a 18 inch long fluke in a river had a huge like horseshoe in its belly later at shore I cut it open 9 inch weakfish half it's total length and choked it down. Fluke are cool.
So the fluke ate a few fish before it was caught know the person lost money because of it I'm confused
Congratulations. Great results considering the wind.
Good work around the boat mate. Nice video, cheers
No surprises here the goat takes it home!!
What a surprise!!! Congratulations!!!!
Awesome, nice work guys!
Way to go John!!
Great video, congratulations again!
Great time. Thanks for coming. But who is the guy in the dumber and dumber hat?
Awesome job running the boat Rick!
Way to go John and fellas! That's damn exciting.
Thats evidence of the food chain right there lol😂😂😂
I guess I don't understand the consternation about whether to use the net or not. Why not just be ready with the net every hookup until/unless it becomes obviously unnecessary?
Good question. Two reasons - 1) Sometimes the rig tangles in the net, costing time. 2) It interrupts the fishing of the person netting.
Congratulations John 🏆
This is unwatchable with all the ads ....I can't take it..😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
It actually has one less than YT placed on it. If I cut too many I fear YT won't recommend it.
Hey John.....what ocean fluke reel are you using these days...I'm still using the quantum accurist.
Me too.
That fish already had a big baitfish in its gut and was still feeding great.
AWESOME VIDEO! GREAT JOB ON THE WIN BOYS
Congrats from East Northport
one of your most interesting fluking videos ever. luck was definitely with you, but luck is the residue of knowledge and hard work. well done!
Ben Hogan, one the golfing greats said the more I practice the luckier I get.
I enjoyed watching you guys hook on to big Fluke.
Congratulations!!!
SWEET! Great day for you.
Awesome. Congratulations to all.
Congrats John and Team.. great video.
John- Love the videos. Could you tell me what brand of boat that Center Console is? Don't see too many aluminum boats around where I am.
Thanks.
Metal Shark
Congratulations on winning the contest.
Pure teamwork won this tournament . Congratulations .
John what do you recommend for a teaser? Been using the tsunami teasers but I feel like the hook is to small for a 6” grub. I’ll hook with the smaller minnows but always losing fish on the teaser with the bigger grubs. Thanks.
The title had me saying "not another cheater!"
Just dont get why you never use fluke belly.that rubber
Cannot be good for these fish to swallow.would you eat it ?
It's not plastic or rubber. It's biodegradable and fish just poop it out in tests.
Happy. ending!😂
Why did you win 1st and 2nd places? Why didn't you move to 1st, 3rd to 2nd and 4th to 3rd?
The main contest had a bigger fish, but that boat did not enter the Calcutta, which is a much higher paying side bet pool common in these contests. Normally the big fish is in the Calcutta, but lucky for us not this time, so we took it with the 2nd largest fish.
I didn’t know you could even keep fish that are not mouth hooked. I know in the Great Lakes it is not legal.
Right. I was up on Lake Ontario when I was in Grad School and the concern was intentional snagging, which was actually legal for kings in the rivers back then (80's). This was done with weighted treble hooks. Trout could be "lifted" from the shallow tributaries, but I'm quite sure that was illegal. I've looked at our saltwater regs carefully and have never seen a reference to unintentionally foul-hooked fish.
Don't you think by just putting gulp liquid on a bait it washes off almost instantly? I think the scent being cooked into the gulp is the key.
We concluded recharging was vital a couple seasons ago because for awhile only one of us was doing it and that person was outperforming the others. When everyone started doing it the catches became more equal. Good question.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing Good to know.
Congratulations. Having fun and winning prize money it's always a good day in my book!! Well done Lads!!!
Right where the dec can keep an eye on you ,
🤩 CONGRATULATIONS JOHN!
You are money John !
Pardon my ignorance on the topic, but why did the 1st place catch not get counted? I was thinking we had another walleye weights in fish episode, but when i realized it was YOUR catch and was only stuffed from eating so much and not foul play, i was just confused. Thanks for clearing it up, and awesome job to you and the whole crew - looked like a blast!
The first place boat did not enter the Calcutta, which is a side bet commonly associated with tournaments, fishing and otherwise. That meant our 2nd place fish took the "big" money.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing Thanks man, straight forward and right to the point! I wasnt use to the Calcutta term and it was throwing me off, thanks for the info!
Awesome! Congrats!!
Looks like a pinfish not a porgy
John, the fish you pulled out looked like a pinfish we use for bait here in Florida. What was it?
Porgy
May I asks what dock is this? I am in Brooklyn and I am not familiar with this dock. Beautiful fish and congrats on the prize.
So cool u won......😎✌️👍.....
Congratulations!
Great job
Y’all yanks words r fluke up
Wow I'm subscribed and I haven't had one of your videos come across in over 2 years
Interesting and frustrating.
Q The sea is wide, the waves are small, allowing your team to catch a lot of fish.
did you get first and second? if the first guy wasn't in you should be first, and 3rd becomes second? all good congrats!
1st did not enter the Calcutta. He won the first place prize of I think $1K.
