I did not actually do this one myself, only suffered some of the muddy consequences.

We were marsh hen hunting here in Florida. As we're moving down a creek to get to another spot, it was a very low tide which is not the best marsh hen hunting situation but that's another issue, and I have to stop the motor because it is to shallow.

Now we're in a aluminum jon boat so you can imagin how shallow it is. I'm poling the boat along and my buddy John all of a sudden yells "flounder" and pokes the business end of his 12 ga Rem 870 down at the water.

What happened to the flounder I will never know but I can tell you that a shotgun is not the proper way to harvest flounder, mud yes, flounder no.

And no it is not legal either.........besides being VERY messy.
