wife and I caught a 175 in the St Lucie River on 14# line, got it to the boat 7 miles from where we hooked up 5 hours later. Wife and I took times fight that non jumping sonofagun.

I love a jumping tarpon but a non jumper will kill ya.

This one was a non jumper. That's why he ran so far. Braided line sure has made a huge difference. I remember many many long fights with mono.
