Anybody who's been flounder fishing in South Carolina the last few years knows what a high percentage of fish are under 16 inches (and therefore cannot be kept).  17- and 18-inch fish seem rare, much less fish over 20 inches long.  It's no different in Hilton Head, but check out this 5-pound fish caught with Captain Trent Malphrus with Palmetto Lagoon Charters (843-301-4634).  It was caught on a live finger mullet inside a lagoon and released to grow bigger.  Thanks for sharing, Captain Trent!
