Great trip!! And a HUGE 👍's up for letting those big girls live another day...Nice spot Doc....
Unbelievable trip and sportsman ship by everyone on board. That's what its all about. Love to see it
Another great fishing day. Thanks for sharing uncensored, those moments made me laugh. Congrats to the lucky fisherman with the Big Fluke and Striped Bass.
Did I say shit enough?
Anyone else like the video before watching because you already know it’s gonna be a banger 🔥
Every damn time!!!
David Raful lol me too. Gotta get up there one day
Nicely done John! Always enjoy watching your content! Those were some beautiful fish! That trip will never be forgotten!
Dock: "Hey baby, do you come here often?"
Skinner : "ohh yaaaa"
Haha love the channel man! Learn so much, many thanks dood
What a cracking day out... Quality fish... wow that bass! Thanks John.
Its awesome that you put those big fish bag! I love to see other people keeping the big fish in the gene pool, the smaller fish eat better anyway.
I really prefer the thinner fluke fillets.
I really enjoyed this crew, their joy, and their awesome fish!!! Very fun video!!!
Beautiful *Video,* this place is amazing, congratulations Fisherman!👍🎣🐟
Hug and good Fishing.
A very good video. It was good seeing Doc & Sweeney again. I think I saw Sweeney on some Nantucket Shoal video's earlier this year.
Thanks again
Yup, I was there with Kenny and my son. Thx.
I appreciate it...thanks!
Releasing that fish was awesome
What a great video!! Sweeney telling Doc that he'll throw him over!! Priceless!!! Why is it that us short guys are always picking on the big guys? Hahahahaha Skinner, I fish Cape May (ocean) and in the back bays of Avalon. Haven't done well in Cape May this season, but in the back waters of Avalon I've definitely noticed the change you spoke of in regards to the "strikes" or lack there of. It feels like the bigger fish are just "leaning" on the bucktails instead of hitting them. I've also slowed up my presentation to a "three hop" jigging technique as opposed to the rapid jigging method. Congrats to Doc and Sweeney on those awesome fish. Way to go Doc with hitting the charts and finding a honey hole!
Great video. Awesome work Doc on the 12lber.
Another awesome Skinner video
Damn that boat is moving .... great job on the jumbo fluke
awesome fish, classy move letting her go. tight lines fellas
setting a good example letting the big gene pool breeders go
Wow, those two beautiful flounder and striper were awesome catches👍🏼
Awesome!! Great video as always!! Great boat!! Great sound!! Great ride heading out and in!!👍
Wow, that boat flies! Great day of fishing for all.
Best fishing channel from long island I love your videos 👌👌🎣
Amazing trip boys! Holy cow!
Awesome! Wish we had flounder that size in SC. We have a lot but most are hard to get a 15” keeper. White/chartuse gulp shrimp in Charleston SC waters is the deal!!
It’s funny you say that they were laying on it. They have been feeding like that all summer down here in VA.
Sweet video John.
When I was a kid in the 50's and 60's we caught flounder by the bucket. I didn't even own a fishing rod them. I caught them on a drop line using an old beer or soda can for a reel. There was diner for my family and a couple of our neighbors.
Awesome as always !!!
John, amazing content as always, what time during the summer was this? I see it was posted early August, just curious if this was late July action or was in fact early August? Thanks!
It was published soon after the trip.
Great content John!
Beautiful boat
Nice job out there! That bass wore Sweeney out lol
8 pound test! that is light for catching 10 pound fluke!! dont think I would go that low. nice video!
Hey John, great video. Question on the bleeding/ice... Some videos/diff boats I see you putting them in the livewell, others bleeding in the bucket then the ice. Why the diff techniques? Your preferences? thanks !!!
Awesome fishing! Never hit them like this. Great job.
It was exceptional. Those were borderline personal bests for both anglers.
Why every time I go to the pier and I'm doing my thing i have somebody say ,( you John skinner?)umm no, and neither do you, lol!!! Great fish on that one guys , and girl!!
Great video! Thank you!
Great fishing. pretty work
You got that right John. Always said hook sets are free. Getting out down here in Jersey in the next couple of days. Wish me luck.. 😉
Great video! Glad someone else can really enjoy them out shore fishing, there's no way I could have been out there with y'all, I would have ruined it! I get easily seasick! :( Anyways, love these vid's!!!
I highly encourage everyone that fluke or flounder fishes to try the new Gulp Orange Tiger color !!!
Also of note is that winter flounder are right faced and fluke are left faced...
Cool. I didn’t know that.
Hey John,
Rick from NJ. Was wondering if the gulp liquid is the same for all of their baits? I'd like to put all the different ones I have in one container since their plastic containers tend to leak. Upsetting when that stuff spills on the inside of your gear bag.
Most people I fish with, me included, mix it all together.
Thanks John. I'm about to do the same thing! One container for all & done!
Dam Kudos for the release of thet fluke.
Great vid as always. Just curious, did you throw the girl overboard ? Never saw her after the "pickup"
Right! What happened to her? I think the Doc was driving so fast that she blew out of the boat somewhere in Gardiners Bay.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing LOL
Lol!
Where are good places to fish for flounders offshore John?
I once got hit reeling halfway up and started peeling drag. I thought it was a bluefish and it turned out to be a 5lb seabass. You never know...
Take me fishing John!!👍🏼😬
Smooth John. Great eating fish! Beach feeding fish. Bacon.
My HERO Sweeney,Doc you done good too>put them on the fish
I’m convinced that my dad and grandfathers favorite word is “shit”
Haha
I need a net and I need it now!
Yeah!!!🤣
Any reason for using a baitcaster reel instead of a spinner?
Is that the same rod that u had the link to amazon last year? If so it’s like $30-$40 more on amazon than J&H
Big Bucks is the boat's name!💲
Awesome video! I wish they made that blue accurist in left hand
Does he do a lot of fishing out of Montauk?
Yes...we fish there a lot.
I’d love to fish with Mr Skinner, love flounder fishing
What a trip! Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations
There's nothing like getting onto the boat pre-dawn and passing your tackle down to waiting hands. Expectations high and adrenaline lurking in the wings.
Is it common at all to bounce ball for fluke like we do for buts on the west coast
What city did you guys launch from?
Alright John, now you're just showing off. Having said that keep the vids coming.
Nice Fluke 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Do you have info on why no stripers out beyond three mile limit may be retained? I don't have a boat and I'm not aware of that rule here in California.
It's a federal thing that applies to the east coast for sure, but I don't know about your side. I suspect it's the same. It's illegal to even target them for catch and release outside 3 miles. The one in this video was an accidental and very pleasant surprise.
New rod? Black hole challenger? What power? How do you like it?
Prototype. Nexus still winning.
some great pullage on this trip - 10 & 12 pounders + big rock fish - nice .........
With the light bite, it sounded like prepping fortog.
I love your videos
I think you forgot to post the link to the Joe BobbleHead.
Great video, it is hard work fishing. LOL.
John, do you ever go out for fluke and get skunked? No keepers like the rest of us?
I don't recall being skunked completely, but I've definitely had trips with no 19-inch keepers.
I like fishing with the jigs but I find I loose many when they get to the boat, the hook comes out.
Just keep a bend in the rod and lead it into the net. Jig fish are usually lip hooked, whereas many bait-caught fish are hooked down deep. That's fine for keepers, but not so good for when the fish needs to be released.
Why did u not keep the huge fish
Because the next time you catch it it will be an even bigger fish.
Do you sell the fish?
Why return the big fish? I thought only undersized fish had to be thrown back.
They are better spawners.
If I were sweeny I'd be sending that fight to the manufacturer of the line...probably give him free spools for life so they can show their factory 8# braid bring a 32lb bass to heal...wow.
Where do u fish Montauk maybe
What ounce sinker does johns rod hold up to
If me (John), that a very light Mojo and 3 oz is as heavy as I go with it. Mostly 2 or less. The rod itself weighs 3.9oz.
Whaaat? very nice!!!
How long is a 10lb flounder?
Around 30''
Want to fish like John.... 5 yr old Gulp juice... Shhhhh... lol
Flounder hit in Florida feels like you're stuck on a rock.
Why keep the smaller fluke and release the bigger one ?
I’ve caught a huge fat striper about 42.5 LBS
WHAT OUNCE OF WEIGHT YOU USED FOR JIGS
between 2 and 4 ounces
I got an 11 and with the big fish it usually feels like your stuck on bottom at first
WOW NICE💪🏾💪🏾
Hook sets are free!
WOW I WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT
If John Skinner wasn't there ... I bet that fish is on someone's dinner plate.
Not a chance. Both of those guys have released similar fish this season when I wasn't out.
It's true. I released another 12 lber less than 2 weeks ago when Sweeney and I were fishing and Skinner was not present.
John Keriazes aka Doc Released into your bait well.😂 I’d have to say it would depend how often I’d catch ones that big. Here in Delaware,(where I tend to go) you almost never seem to catch keepers. I suppose I could go into the ocean. But, I’m in a 17ft boat. So, if I caught a 12lb flounder, I’d have to keep it. But, if it was relatively common I’d release them. Great fish Doc.
I still don’t see how it’s possible to get near the bottom with a 2oz bucktail in 85 fow. Great ending to the video
No heavier than 15# braided line.
Ever thought of getting all of the gear and misc crap up off the floor? It's a wonder someone didn't fall from all of that stuff all over the floor! Come on guys, get it together!
Why was the 10+ lb fluke released?
David Hagler because there not the best eaters and in the northeast most people release the 10+ pound fluke
@@philipgeraldi5724 Thanks. I ask because (thanks to Mr. Skinner) my son and I had a ball catching small fluke/flounder in Barnegat Bay this past week. We were happy with the 2-4 lb'ers and could not imagine a 10+ pound fish.
Also just let them breed as we catch a enough meat. Trying to thing next generation.
We not only released the 10lber, but also released the 32 lb bass and the 12 lb fluke.
@@johnsweeney1400 Agree, totally am in with maintaining the fishery and keeping it in good shape. Just didn't know the focus of which to keep and which ones to return. Thanks for the reply. Fun watching the video, looked like a great day.
you can only be 35 miles out with people you want to spend a whole day with. No escaping lol
I thought cow bass were extinct...
I would not release a 12 pounds fluke. You catch a thousand shorts waiting for that meat.
he was stuck in the flukes mouth. lol
1 thousandth like! Love it.
