Tampa Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report
Tampa fishing captain does double take after landing a flounder
on south shore. "It's got two back sides!" announced captain
Sean Hagen a local fishing guide out of Tampa Florida.
While flounder fishing in Tampa Bay Captain Sean Hagen
notices there is something odd about the flounder he just boated.
The oddball fish appeared to have two backsides. The back and belly
both held the same pattern. Normally the backside (the side with the eyes)
is muscled on both sides of the back bone and posses a camouflage pattern.
The belly is flat and pearl white in color.
Although, this oddball flounder appeared normal on its backside,
its belly side was definately of a freakish nature. The only
white on the belly side was a small section around it's head.
The rest of the belly possed the same camouflage color pattern
as its backside. Also, the belly was slightly muscled and not
completely flat like that of a normal southern flounder.
No, this flounder was not boated around the Crystal River
nuclear power plant. If any anglers have caught simular
type flounder Capt. Sean would be interested in hearing
about your catch. You can contact him at:
