Yesterday, on my fourth attempt, I jumped a tarpon. WOW about sums it up as this beast flew into the air and off I went for a ride. The battle included several jumps and runs, (tried to bow when it came up) and we wound up in 3 feet of water in a creek !!! The fish turned, I tried to spin the kayak, and just like that, after 30 min., it was gone. My leader was frayed but I think I have to blame myself here for using a loop knot which may have given out.
Since I got home, all I can think about it getting another chance.
Happy Memorial Day and a belated BIG thank-you to all our veterans and active serviceman that make my freedom to enjoy life possible.
Dave,
