I always stand on the flounder's tail and string them up while they are still under water and gigged....just saying.

Gotcha .... Makes sense Dale .

I've started stringing them while held down on the gig, i knew this one was on there good and easy to hold down on the gig with that one hand and string it with the other so I lifted it out of the water. Exceptional advice though I never thought to stand on the tail, they are always splashing water in my face

Stand on the tail with your Right foot. That gives you the best angle. The lower jaw will be facing you.
Hope that helps.

Ok , Dale , I don't gig so help me out here . If the fish is facing right as on the video , to step on the tail with your right foot would seem ackward as you would have to twist your body around to the right to access the head . Why not step on the tail with your left foot ? If the fish is facing left , step on the tail with the right foot .

I never grab the fish on the side. Always slide fingers under fish and grab both prongs pick up then I turn the gig upside down and hold fish still with my elbow and string em up. I like it when they get my shirt covered!!

I've always gigged and strung 'em under the water also. Good point, Dale.

LOL.
Ok , you step on the tail with the right foot and move your body so your left foot is below the lower jaw.
Makes it really easy to run the stringer through the lower jaw or through the gill and out the mouth
depending on your preference.

Haha dang y'all are picky. Never lost one doing it the way in the video. Bigger stronger fish get strung in place, smaller 15-17 inchers get lifted up, also always gig with a buddy so we help each other out stringing fish sometimes

heres an old one eye flatty for y'all, 19 inches he got strung under water
