Someone caught a tarpon this morning

I saw the pic. He's smiling. The fish is big, silver and not smiling. However I am 110% positive it swam away with only a bruised ego.

Re: If you can HEAR thunder.....

Re: C'mon. I need some paddle fishing stories!

I'm with you Snooker. There's a lot of lurkers who don't post anything. Yes, I can see everybody who comes on the forum and I know that some of the lurkers are out fishing. While not as serious, I too have been off the water due to leg surgery - wanna see my scar? - followed by a miserable case of s...

Re: The Future of Kayakfishing
