More Islamorada Tarpon

Fished Sunday with the Mikes in Islamorada. We caught jacks and snappers but the highlight was another tarpon. Big Mike caught and released this tarpon on ten pound test. Great fish and great fight!  Pro Tip:  Take time to revive fish after a prolonged fiight. Revived fish will bite down on your thumb to let you know they are ready to go. Swim the fish in an "S" pattern by holding the lower jaw. Keep the fish upright. Failure to revive a fish properly means you just wasted it.  Do not attempt with sharks.
