Freaks Come Out at Night, Get Stabbed








Went out into Pensacola Bay in a "Flounder killing boat" this past weekend with Jeep and Bone. It's a Jon boat modified to shine a light underwater while being driven from a platform on the bow. The light lets you see everything in about a 30 ft radius, and you cruise around at idle. When you spot a flounder you stab him with a gig and throw him in the boat. The boat never stops and neither does the fun. We managed to stab five flounder and missed about 10. We also got a few mullet. We saw maybe 30 redfish, but it's illegal to gig them in Florida. Saw an alligator gar and some kind of ray with about a 7 foot wingspan. Took in a couple sweet sunsets as well.

If a fish that has both eyes on one side of his head isn't a freak, I don't know what is.
