Tarpon Pics

These are some pics that I took from last weekend's tarpon. We hooked three and released two boatside. Fishing in the keys has been good.

Tarpon

We headed out on Sunday and the fish continued to bite well. We had constant action with jacks, snappers, mackerels, and blue runners. The highlight of the day was a 60 pound, 50" plus tarpon that hit my jig. After a bunch of jumps we brought her boatside for a quick release. Pro Tip: When fighting big fish, the line should always be going out or coming in. A bent rod with no line movement allows the fish to rest and prolongs the fight.

Islamorada

Headed to Islamorada last weekend with Patty, Mom, and Dad for a fun weekend. We started off on Saturday catching nonstop snappers, jacks, mackerels, and blue runners. Fun fishing at its finest. Pro Tip: Keeping your jig moving, even if it's slow, minimizes snags.
