Someone caught a tarpon this morning

Post by Rik »

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.

Maybe he will share

Edit: He got two this morning

Ended my winless streak with a double header. I ain't dead yet!

Much thanks to Uncle Tommy for the assist. Both fish managed to find their way into my drift chute.

Only if you don't put a string of hash tags after it. (It's Dave's pic so wait for his response)

Congrats on an amazing day when I should been there. Thank for showing us how it is done.
Being out on the water in the kayak is the prize. Catching fish is the bonus.

You can use the pic but if they end up in a catalog I want some bling!

It gets that way when you forget the plug for the Scotty mount.

I am sure he didn't forget, just wanted the extra weight for the exercise. :)
