Tarpon of 170lb, caught on a swimmer crab on the ocean side of Islamorada May 1999. It was my first tarpon and a whopper. I first knew something was up when I saw a huge tarpon leap high into the air about 50m away making a big arc against the sky... then my line started running off the reel, after 5 days of trying over two trips to the keys I was starting to lose hope, to say I was slow on the update is an understatement! Forty minutes later I was knackered but so was the tarpon, as it was my first one and huge specimen to boot, I was super keen to get a photo of the fish and me with it so jumped off the boat. I wouldn't do it again as I only thought about the sharks later!

No, safest if you stay on your side of the bridge Greg, leaving Sandbanks to us locals 😄

Careful Rob it works both ways Greg won’t let you get to your boat he’s already broke the twin sails to keep us away!!! 😂😂

May need to look in to this We are eating our last frozen fish out of the Freezer tonight [First time we have ever run out] cannot persuade Wendy to eat the frozen bait in the garage. Lol

A few more reminders of the coast for the landlubbers.

May fit in here Kev. LOL

It was a bit misty looking the other way, but you can just about make out the twin sails....stuck in the upright position as usual!

I lost my wallet somewhere
