Tampa fishing captain does double take after landing a flounder

on south shore. "It's got two back sides!" announced captain

Sean Hagen a local fishing guide out of Tampa Florida.

While flounder fishing in Tampa Bay Captain Sean Hagen

notices there is something odd about the flounder he just boated.

The oddball fish appeared to have two backsides. The back and belly

both held the same pattern. Normally the backside (the side with the eyes)

is muscled on both sides of the back bone and posses a camouflage pattern.

The belly is flat and pearl white in color.

Although, this oddball flounder appeared normal on its backside,

its belly side was definately of a freakish nature. The only

white on the belly side was a small section around it's head.

The rest of the belly possed the same camouflage color pattern

as its backside. Also, the belly was slightly muscled and not

completely flat like that of a normal southern flounder.

No, this flounder was not boated around the Crystal River

nuclear power plant. If any anglers have caught simular

type flounder Capt. Sean would be interested in hearing

about your catch. You can contact him at:
