Hook up on a 100 lb Tarpon
Friday, May 29, 2009 - 9:40 AM
Not the biggest tarpon but on a small trout rod & reel provided some excitement. Penny Pritt was the excited fisher person who all of a sudden, after complaining that her greenback bait was half dead provided the excitement.  The small spinning rod just started singing.  We got everyone's rods in, the boat started and began chase.

15 minutes later we had it boat side with no jumps. We started to reach in the water to unhook the tarpon when it took off again.  I guess it was still very "green". Fighting it for another 10 minutes provided a spectacular jump about 20 yards in front of the boat with the sun going down in the background. What a picture!  That was the end of our experience.  Our adrenaline was up and high fives around.

How in the world were you able to even survive the hookup? I have been hunting tarpon for years and they are so elusive. Congratulations
