There are a ton of 15" fish out there...frankly this is a case where the comm guys pound fish and the rec's scratch. IMO there should be no difference. If it is good enough for a comm to take them then the rec should keep them as well. The reason I say that is the rec will actually kill far more fluke just to get a few keepers. It makes no sense. This is another case of regulators who don't have a grasp of the real world.
As far as big fluke ...looks bad this year around here. However, eastern long island is murdering giant fluke. 8/10/12lers are being caught like joe is catching 15" fish.
