I fished Okaloosa Island Pier for tarpon yesterday. I hooked a giant at 11:00 and it almost spooled my Van Staal 275. (700 yards of braid)! An hour and twenty minutes later I finally got him to the pier and released him. We estimated his weight at over 150lbs. I was literally too tired to return today.

I got several pictures from tourists of me fighting the fish, but none when I had him laid up beside the pier. If you will pm your cell number, I will text what I have. I can't post pictures.
Thanks

Peach, I really like that set-up you're using. What did you hook her up on? Did you roll Kevin out there to watch you fish?

Kevin is still not ready yet. His surgery was a lot rougher than he first thought. I hooked that one on a swim bait that Kevin and I put together. I'm going back in the morning, but supposed to be 90% chance of thunderstorms. Tarpon bite great in bad weather, but I don't like lightning!

When you are over 60, you don't recognize things like that anymore. Or maybe hanging a tarpon is the only way I can get their attention!!

Nice. I caught a 150 on my grandfathers boat and he hit the button on his gps when we hooked it. When we landed it, i had fought that fish for 2.5 miles but that was on 20 lb mono.


Yeah cmon. Daniel White
