Yeah I like the crispy skin ....just never thought of givin the tail a sizzle....but I will , just that I usually chop the tail off to fit it in the pan ( flounder is probly the only fish I cook whole ...mostly fillet everything else )
Saltwater fishing is my preferred then again I don't keep what I catch so it doesn't matter what I catch. I look at the weather, wind and tide and kayak fish near shore, biggest decision is shrimp or minnows.
It must have been hungry.
Sometimes people will come here and buy a live lobster at the fish market just so they can toss it back in the water and save its life.
Every once in a while when they do this a giant striped bass will come out from under the dock and hammer it.
It would immediately head over to wherever a bait or lure was splashed. I ended up not using a Plopper or other topwater bait because of mister nosy. 
What is it ? Obviously some sort of crocodilia, just thinking how it would go on the barbieMy wife and I headed over to the fishin' hole this evening. We haven't been fishing since March. We were definitely overdue.
I hooked 10 bass and landed six. I got the first fish on the first cast, which can mean bad luck, but not today. My wife catches bluegill to use as bass bait. She caught at least a dozen, but no bass.
