accidentally found a new way to catch flounder! (catch and cook flounder) 

A lot of fishermen don't know just how aggressive flounder are. I have had the exact same experience as you while fishing as a young man off the jetties off the end of Matagorda peninsula. I had a huge flounder come up from beside the rocks and hit a red plastic I was fishing. After that, I routinely cast around the rocks and caught many flounder like that. Of course, I lost a lot of lures that got caught on rocks too. :)

You know Coop's excited when he keeps repeating the same thing. 🤣 Loving these videos.

When it said "bad word" it cracked me up😅😅

Dude, I love how excited you get when you catch a fish.

Coop *throws cast net* "OH BINGO!" "I got one..." *Hysterical laughter*

Great video, as usual. He gets so excited, like a kid a Christmas, fun to watch. I fish most of the areas he fishes. I lean a lot from his videos!

So happy to have caught a flounder. I used to catch them all the time when I'm fishing in saltwater. King worms also know as Sandworms are my bait of choice.

Seeing you throw that cast net amongst the rocks gives me anxiety! Keep up the awesome vids!

New drinking game. Take a drink anytime coop says “woo”

When I have not made it out to fish in a while I can’t watch these. Just get too jealous. I’m going out tomorrow so I’m bingeing the last 4 vids you posted getting myself pumped for tomorrow.

I love you!!! Great job!! Been watching you for awhile! I've been fishing fish pass since I was tiny. Appreciate your enthusiasm!!

Love the energy you have whenever you are on the water! Keep them coming. Good stuff Coop!

I love yr. videos. Your postitive vibe really comes through & your personality is so cool. It's no wonder that you are really good at this ( fishing & entertaining). Keep it up..you have a fan here!

Went to the same spot walked about a mile down got skunked and you were just a hundred feet away from dock LOL nice fish coop!

Wish that we have this kind of place in my country, cheers from Malaysia

Love you! And love how pumped you got! That was me last weekend when I hooked up to my first flounder don’t even know how it happened. But nowi really want to catch one! Mine broke off but I had never seen one in my life! It was so cool

Summer Flounder ( fluke) Paralichtus Dentatus ! Flat fish with many teeth! We are very lucky these fish only get so big..otherwise they would eat is right of our beaches! Ive caught several fish over 10 lbs. One had a 16" flounder in his belly. Another had a 2 lb. Lobster in his belly. They are Ferocious!!

Dude that flounder Def chills at the salty spitune

Shout out from Brownsville, TX. Nice vid

Thanks for the great video Cooper. Coincidentally I was at mantanzas Inlet today, near St Augustine Florida , and the mullet were in there like crazy. Every cast net throw caught Lots. You can almost catch them with your hands! Tons of birds and things blowing up everywhere. I caught my first two flounder today so kind of weird maybe I'll try that ceviche

Sweet video dude. Love seeing the whole process start to finish. Very educational

Love the videos man just wanted to remind you! , long time fan here 🤙🏽

Best way to start my Monday mornings at work...a new video from Thresher on RU-vid!

Thought that big rusted barrel was a barbecue pit that y’all brought out there lol I said man these guys are committed for the long haul if they’re taking their barbecue pit out there😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Your energy is definitely unmatched bruh! Right on.. love your videos.

I love to use a Carolina rig with circle hooks with live bait for flounder! Also if ya want heat...take the peppers and cut out the seeds and the placenta of the pepper. Next take the seeds/placenta an put them in a blender or coffee grinder an add some oil...Olive oil ...With a clove or two of garlic and grind it down... Add that to your veggie mix....Give it a shot... Great video

Love the videos and enthusiasm. Great flounder catch. Ive fished them for 40 years now. Might want to check recent regulation changes though on that treble hook. They are basically out for game fish now a days. Florida for sure which is where I am. A buddy in Galveston invited me to come fish the run and told me no treble hooks allowed. You mentioned you havent targeted them with hooks and live bait so just looking out for ya.

Great job! Your GoPro lets us feel like we’re fishing when we aren’t able to go. But in all honesty that red should’ve been kept and introduced to yo man, Cayenne! 🌶 😋

The flounder keeps coming up to see whos so excited.

The 11.40 joke...hahaha... kill me dead bro😂😂😂

Im from yucatan and habanero is like candy too us. Love it!! When i saw you pull it out i was like oh hell yeah doggy!!!

I’ve caught all of my best flounder out of those little pockets in the jetties

I once caught a 4 ish lb. Flounder near Aransas pass on a rebel jumping minnow. ( Walk the dog type bait) . They can be super aggressive at times. Nice chunky mangrove. Tasty!

Next step up from a habanero pepper is a scorpion pepper. I would recommend drying it out, Then grinding it into a powder. It works well with fresh juiced mango. Adds heat and a nice sweet after taste.

Coop that second red looked like it had a TAG!

There’s a porpoise in the distance as soon as you hooked that big red. That’s my guess. Love your channel.

My grandma used to say if your mad you’ll choose the spicy chiles at the store 🤷‍♂️

Lmao i felt that " NO" you screamed when loosing that flounder. Was fishing yesterday and caught me a big ol doormat and it fell off. I said no the exact same way even swung my rod down the same. A heart break is bad but aint a pain like loosing a good fish 😔

Love you little man. Love your enthusiasm when you are hooked up. Haven't seen your pup. Take care and keep safe. 👀ya

Nice!!! Being watching you since you were small! Congrats

Try wide gap hooks to live bait flounder. I always give them a 10 count after I feel them thump.

This was a really fun video to watch! Love your energy.

OSRS beats are dope! Love the videos man!

The hurry-up offense @12:13 had me rollin.

Was that 2nd redfish tagged? 6:38 it looks like a tag by its pectoral fin. Or its a piece of straw or weed. Tags are usually by the dorsal fin but it could have been one. Take a look

Thanks for the filleting and cooking part.

Thresher is goated

Flounder stack up in those little drops between rocks so its not necessarily the same one .nice catch

It's never too early for a big fish!

Anyone know what kind or rod is that?

Love the RuneScape Outro music

This was one of your best vid's in a long time great going thresher

Been here for a long time but been a while since I have watched any of your stuff. Getting gear ready for cooler water in NC. Lived in South Carolina in the Charleston area. Carolina rig was the only way I knew to fish for flounder. Ran into a dude fishing rocks old chunks of concrete bridges etc. Look a lot like where you were dropping it right beside the rocks. He showed me how he did it. Certain times those flounders lay sideways on the rocks and in the crevices. Hey do you say Bing split shot and a small orange cork . The type you would use in a farm pond for sunfish. Wait on the bottom cork and mullet or mud minnows, shrimp, bait of some sort. The wait would keep it near the rocks in the court would elevate it up where the flounder were. Certain times. Not all year. In the off times when you’re not too confident. They are there though. Some nice ones sometimes. Used A j Hook but I would switch it up and use a kale or some sort of largemouth bass hook with a little twist in the shank . What is a good technique when nothing else worked During our water temperature or seasons. Take it easy

I bet that gash was a prop injury...nice big ol' red!

I'm gonna have to try that recipe

That flounder bite was crazy lmao love the video man keep it up

Its flounder season here in Galveston tx and that was a nice flounder

Flatties love live and cut bait. Very popular method here on the east coast.

Good catch man. FYI, you played basketball with us 40 year olds last year at Montclair elementary. We didn’t play this summer due to COVID but we should be there next summer. I have had no luck fishing so far this month.

I caught about a 15 lb red at Bob Hall Pier decades ago with a gash like that. The man running the bait shop said it was caused by a dolphin. He had been a commercial fisherman on the Island for twenty years.

I got the same cleaning table and I see ur faucet to your table gone mine's broken too lol

That fish will absolutely live

Always looking for your next vid!! Good job dude!! I smell a sweet successful future for you!!

City of Corpus Christi needs to use your videos as promotion adds.

I catch Alot of Flounder and I use only Kahle hooks. One tip.When you feel the Flounder bite..STOP..Do not set the hook.I count to 10 slowly..which gives the Flounder time to swallow the bait..then I slowly lift up..if I feel the Flounder on I then set the hook.Yes..if you use circle hooks you just reel as fast as you can to set the hook. And that's how I catch my Flounder.

what rod and reel was that u were using

small to medium size treble hooks are the best for catching flounder with live bait from shore. especially finger mullet. You are probably going to experience some snags tho.

use a Kahle hook 1/0 with 1oz dropper loop. i catch flounder, trout and reds all the time with this setup. my target fish are flounder

Oooh yay new thresher vid! We got im we got im we got im 😂

Gonna try out that technique 🔥

sick video man idk how i missed this one!!

Love your videos brother, keep doing what your doing!!

gr8 session on the live bait haha

Nice . I just have to share with you , when you hooked up the first big " Red ¨... I immediately started thinking about , ¨ What´s for dinner tonight ¨ .

I heard that the dots on red fish tails are a defense mechanisms against predators. When fish hunt they attack the tail end of the fish to disable them. The dots looks like the eyes so when the preditory fish attacks, it strikes the tought part of the body (head gill plate) increaseing its chance of escape.... i had caught a couple of reds with the same exacte strikes on its body...

ur the best

It looks like a clean cut like someone is cutting tyem

Hell yeah baby, hell yeah baby. A Thresher upload.

Nice fish 🐟 mate

10/10 catch and cook waiting for you to come to Australia coop!

Damn coop when u out there by yourself I noticed you out the box! I love it!!! But lately u been chilled out like this cold front! Anyways love the what choo doin! Fish on!🎣🎣🎣🎣

I was out at Isla Blanca Jetties the other day.. using cut mullet and no hookups.. maybe I should’ve used live mullet instead.. great video man!

im a big fan i am subscribed and i love ur fishing vids i go to freeport alot and sometimes i go to sea wolf park for flounder fishing! i like ur way of cooking!

Nice flounder and mangrove keep fishing bro

I love it lol!!!! Crazy flatty boy!

Try some Serrano peppers instead of the jalapeños, about 3 or 4 in the batch you made. Has just the right amount heat you gotta cool off with a ice cold beverage after a bit

Unusual using treble hooks for live bait

That fishin spot reminds me of the Jettys in Freeport Tx, awesome vids man, respect with the ceviche! My mom makes a killer ceviche

I’ve never made it this early 👀

Great job

It's never to early for the big ones

The gash on that fish was a from a propeller, with a slight slash on the other side of the fish.

Who are the 12 D-Bags who've disliked this video?? Thanks for another great video Coop!

Coop, ever figure out what took that giant Chuck out of that Red Boy?

Great video! Flounder have to chew for a bit....circle hooks are the best. Try mullet thru the roof of the mouth for more natural presentation.

THIS HOOK SUX!🤣🤣🤣. ITS not the arrow!! Tonto,its the pale face ☺ ! Heading out on nov 5th for tournament at Malakai beach. You're accidently is something I new to do in the 80's ! Camon bro!! Keep it 💯!!
