captain Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 I go to the keys frequently with my wife and i finally LANDED a tarpon on the fly. Followed this catch up with an aged PSD4. Thank you Czar for the PSD4 (from a while back) and thanks god this fish stayed hooked! I caught it on an 8wt.
rckymtn22 Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Great pictures! Nice action shots, that fish sure could jump!
hoyopr Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Congrats that must have been one of the best fights to have, great photos too, thanks for posting.
Miami101 Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Always have a hard time with Tarpon....they are monsters. If you have not had a 150 to 200 pound Tarpon master then go out get one....one of the best fights for in shore... I have a long time love hate thing going with them....and four four rods, and two fly rods broken in the process. had one fight me for over one hour, and pull my kayak. Only beed able to land a small one....so far.... Good job Capt.... Let me know when you are in my woods Mingo, or Glades....
captain Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 Thanks for the kind words everyone. It really was a feat for me to land this. I have hooked them up to 150 lbs but this is the first that was landed. As you can see the fish was in the air more than in the water. LOVE IT!
