I've seen this fish before, in my dreams on the end of my gig.
It is a east coast summer flounder that went 12.5 lbs.
It was caught with live mullet on a fish finder rig.

Man could I make a nice meal out of that baby. But then, I don't have an oven big enough to bake it in.

Just a heads up for catching big flounder this up comming fall run.
Use large live mullet. Now what ever you are thinking of as large, think even larger.
This summer I gigged a 21 inch flounder and when I got it to the cleaning table I discovered a barely digested, 8 inch mullet in its stomach and this flounder was obviously laying on a flat, waiting for more supper to come by. I am going to take a wild guess here and assume a truely large flounder, say 28 inches and 8 lbs can easily
swallow and readily attack a mullet up to 12 inches long.

Food for thought.
