A Few Pictures of the Summer Flounder

The first picture shows the top of the fish. It has camaflouged itself with its pigment to look like the bottom of which it had been swimming over. It was probably a rocky bottom. It is really something when you catch one of these fish and you see it coming up to the surface in the water as you get your landing net ready. More so if it is a very large one usually called a "doormat". The second picture is that of a "doormat fluke" or summer flounder.
