Great weekend - Flathead at An Island, South Korea - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

philr21 · 06-08-2014, 06:18 AM

Made a trip with friends to go camping at An Do (An Island), in the Southern part of South Korea. Only accessible by ferry, the remote island is beautiful. The water was clear and the fishing spectacular. Fishing soft plastics, landed approximately 100 fish, mostly red gurnard, but seabass, rockfish, and other fish mixed in.
Single best day of catching bar-tailed flathead I've ever had, landed 13, two were over 60. The largest was 63cm and 2.5kg.
Great trip with my Korean friends... I thank them for the invitation.

I always look forward to your vids. so beautiful and the fish are exotic ! I just love the change in your facial expression when you see that you've hooked a really nice fish !! lol. Are the flat heads good eating ?

Many of us enjoy your videos a lot. It's cool to see how others do things.

Those flatheads look like a catfish and Lizardfish had a baby.

Thanks guys. Flathead are delicious, very white meated fish with large bones so easy to eat.

They do look like a cross between a lizardfish and catfish... No arguing that!
