great fish, I've caught em from five pounds to one hundred seventy five pounds. Big one took 5 1/2 hours and seven miles to land. Five pounders in a ditch with a light fly rod are way more fun.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I've caught quite a few, biggest being 150 lbs. my grandfather was a fishing guide in the keys for 45 years and specialized in tarpon, permit, and bonefish. Paw paw troy even fished with him.

ha, caught my first tarpon with him, Cal was a damn good guide.
When I arrived at the dock I got my fly rod out and told him I wanted to catch a tarpon on a fly. He said it was very unlikely I would do it with THAT outfit. It was an eight foot dry fly action seven/eight weight rod. LOL Late in the day we motored around a point and he cut the motor and told me to get up front with THAT rod. He told me to cast up under some limbs with my tarpon streamer. I made maybe one strip and a 30 pound tarpon ate the fly and exploded up INTO the overhanging limbs. I thought he was gone, but it ran out into open water and we finally landed it. I'm looking at it on the wall now these 49 YEARS later.
It takes a great guide to put a newbie 17 year old on a tarpon on a halfbaked fly outfit.

That's pretty cool. I'm gonna tarpon fish one day. I just haven't made time to do it yet.

There you go Troy. If I'm not mistaken, that's him behind that rail. Hard to see and that was before my time.

I'd be interested in knowing how much real time he had in making that. Cool video!

thats him standing on the rear deck of his boat, behind the rail. I think I have a better pic somewhere, I'll look.
