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.....

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.

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