Cut-Throat Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 On my 10 weight Fly Rod. I caught it on a 1 1/2 inch streamer fly on a size #1 hook. Took 22 minutes to land and I was exhausted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut-Throat Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Yes, we sight fished her. She was rolling along a Mangrove Bank and we quietly worked a cast near the bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut-Throat Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Very nice fish. What did she weigh? Don't know - Big enough, we released the fish. It was only in the Boat about 60 seconds. Take a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbert Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 That is a very nice Tarpon, and an exceptionally nice tarpon, given the tackle used to land that monster. Very nice, very very nice. Congrat's and a big thumbs up for the catch and release. Bravo!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Oh my gosh! Did you get a chance to measure the length? I just read on a Florida guide service website that there are no size restrictions on the Tarpon, so releasing it is even more admirable.
