Here is a video I shot of Dave's tarpon fight this morning. I didn't get any of the glory stuff like jumps or anything. This video is of the work part of the deal. I apologize for how shaky some of this is. I was hand holding the camera, using some telephoto and trying to paddle. I especially want you to enjoy the part where Dave's seat riser collapses. How many of you could fight the tarpon with one hand while you fix your seat. Now you know why they call him the Legend!

Being out on the water in the kayak is the prize. Catching fish is the bonus.

Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

I think it has something to do with the "salty" air. Like a good reporter, I just give you what I got.DaveR wrote:Not family friendly!

Kato added commentary that the little ones need not hear. Remember a comment on the last one.
I'm thinking at 230lbs my ass would have been over when that seat let go.

Seeing a bait bucket and bobber in the Leg-end's possession, a small part of me just died, tis a sad day
