Tarpon!

Cross another off the bucket list.

Went to Key West with Paula, MG, and Angela and booked a charter for tarpon.  Missed one (Pa hook set) but hooked a fifty pounder on a black/purple bunny fly.

After a 20 minute fight, finally landed him.  At least 5 huge jumps, 100 yds of backing, and busted knuckles from palming the reel I finally landed him.

The guide has great pics and I am awaiting him to email them to me.  Until then, this is the best pic I got.  It does this fish no justice.tarpon
