Competition for the Flounder Angler of the Year is heating up in a big way.

Over the last week we have received four entries of fish caught, photographed and released measuring 20 inches or more starting off with Jantzen Miller's 20-incher. He's the current leader of our competition with 86.75 inches of flounder donated (four fish), including a monstrous 26-inch 10-pounder. Justin Hawkins is in second place with 40.625.

Last year's winner Chris Dial today turned in a 20.625-incher, while angler Bill Van Horn entered a 20.5 over the weekend. Cuong Nguyen donated a fish that size to Sea Center Texas last week as part of the Lutes Marine tournament, qualifying him for points.

The next 10 weeks will be interesting as we enter the best time of year for big flounder. Anglers are reporting catching lots of nice fish, which give some anecdotal evidence the new regulations are having a positive impact.

Sabine Flounder Roundup

Next week we will have full details of the Sabine Lake flounder roundup to be held Sat. Oct. 16. This will be your opportunity to contribute directly to flounder conservation. Live flounder donated at the event will be used as breeder fish to help stock Sabine Lake. Expect some really fun Flounder Revolution tie-ins for this important day.

Tech Tip

If a flounder hits your line and starts to slow run off with the bait/lure, let it go. Wait until the fish puts heavy pressure before setting the hook or you are likely to lose the fish.
