One Big Tarpon
My friend, Capt’n jake Jordan is laid up recovering from hip surgery. But, his heart is still out there on the flats fishing for Tarpon, Bones, and whatever will eat his fly. He sent along some photos of a huge tarpon that his friend, Pat Ford, recent took in the keys. It was caught with a spinning rod, but just look at the size of this slugger. As jake notes: Seeing this big fish reminds me of the 1970’s and 1980’s, at Faro Blanco when we used to hang up Tarpon between 170 and 230 pounds at The World Class Angler every season. Believe me this big Tarpon which Pat caught while fishing with Captain Robert Trosset is one Awesome Tarpon, congratulations to Pat and RT on releasing this great fish, I hope to get to the Keys and fish for a few days after my Doctor allows me to go fishing, less than two weeks left I hope.
It certainly is a massive hunk of muscle.
