Deformed Flounder

I've picked up fishing as a hobby and boy, do I love it! I've only ever gone crabbing before, but this is a lot more challenging and a true test of patience. Here's a picture of the only fish I've ever caught by myself:

The deformed/cancerous flounder I caught and released @Pacifica Pier

We've been on several trips now and I've caught some monstrous crabs on my fishing line, only for them to unclasp and plummet back into the ocean. BOO!

Side note: The flounder in the picture had lopsided eyes, which is normal because flounders' eyes migrate as they mature. The weird/gross part was that this fish had lumpy tumors on it's underbelly. No way am I putting that in my tummy (yes, I'm aware we eat chicken and beef tumors all the time).
