Thank you for always watching. Fishing is something you can learn from. Today's theme is autumn flounder fishing. Up until now, we have been exploring the ecology of relatively small fish such as horse mackerel, gobies, and halfbeaks. Today's flounder is in a completely different league. It is a large sandy-dwelling fish-eater that can reach a maximum length of 1 meter and weigh up to 10 kilograms. It is a prime example of a flatfish. A large one exceeding 70 centimeters is called a "zabuton" (cushion) and is a coveted trophy that will remain in the memories of many anglers for a lifetime. The key to understanding the flounder lies in the fact that everything about it boils down to one thing: "ambush." ​​Flounder are not fish that chase after their prey. They hide in the sand, remaining still, and in the instant that prey approaches, they attack with explosive force. In other words, they are hunters of the sandy bottom, ambush assassins. Understanding this predatory style will answer all the questions: why do they chase bait, why do they target the area slightly above the bottom, and why shouldn't you set the hook immediately when you get a bite? Let's face this formidable hunter head-on, using the "working backward from the creature's needs" approach we've learned so far.
