DR, cool videos.........especially the listed link one. How'd they get the camera back?

[bachiboy]

You'd think that with flatties schooling like that, there'd be a ton of bait around, but I don't see any. Wonder what the draw was...especially to be up off the bottom like that?

[DockRat]

They jump in LB. Homer must have tons of them maybe they cruise around looking for bait.
This below video shows them cruising and not much bait around and no sand.

The 110lb Butt released with a GOPRO must have had a rod and reel line attached the some thin line or tape holding the camera ? Maybe the tape was wrapped at the narrow section of the body at the tail ?
