Meat-Fish Flags?

[PurpleGold]

Hoo needs meat flags when you can just trown them on the dock.

BINGO - I thought flags were there to represent the fish you caught that were'nt layin on the dock...Whats the point of flyin' a dolphin flag when he's layin on the dock right behind the boat????

I don't remember seeing any pics of the old-timers flyin' Marlin flags back when they killed 'em all.

for a tournament, i sorta understand it. don't like it, but..you either got it in the pit or you don't.

the last time we released a blue in a tournament, all we had was a bluefin tuna flag so we drew a bill on it with a black sharpie and elongated the body and added a fin..it drew a few chuckles to say the least..

flags to me are like the guy with the rod in his mouth during a picture..

nothing wrong with em'..just not our style..

This flag gets overlooked most of the time:

How lame is that? But really isn't it about having fun??? Why would you even bother taking picture's??? "Don't you dare smile", just hold up the 65 lb Wahoo. And don't look like you enjoy it!!!!! Frank

I have flown flags since 1983, and dad did it before that, why change now.

my best customer likes flags- kids like flags, most charters like flags.


I do beleive in the the when in Rome principle however- I don't fly meat flags in MHC or when I was in FL. In MD I fly for everything

In MX only for slams, and in Venezuela I only flew for slams.

Let's set the standard now that you have to fly a flag for every fish you catch and buy all your flags at alltackle.com. What a great idea.

Now thats funny.

I DO. Its fun, Come in to OC MD. Go to the fishin center, Bahia wherever to get the fish cleaned and have a beer, Lots of people lookin to see what came in. They notice the flags.
Again, It's fun.

So Im' just wondering if you come in flying this flag like this does that mean the crew has released gas or they stink?

What is the reason you would NOT fly flags? And why is it funny? Just asking.

Only one flag as been one my rigger and that is the old red white and blue. Before I purchased my boat I fished with people that had a flag for every fish and raised it so people on the rocks had something to talk about with the kids as the boats came back in. I have seen people do it to show off the catch at the docks where they keep the boat. I made up my mind not to fly them because I have been stopped MANY times fishing with other people by DNR asking to see the catch.

I just dont like to show off and I tow my boat home so why stop at the inlet, raise the flags and ride to the dock just to take it down and trailer the boat.

I never use meat fish flags and get a kick out of people that do use them
