Put my first tarpon of the season in the air today. After 6 or so jumps I caught up to it to the point the leader was in the guides and the fish was gulping air. I then decided it would be a good idea to break my beautiful Scott 10wt. After hand lining the fish for about another 30 seconds I decided it was best to go ahead and let it chew through the leader. Guess I will be fishing the 12wt out of the kayak for a while.


Goodbye Backing.


Hole.


"Old Man and the Sea" style


Insult added to the injury.


Goodbye fishy friend.

Funny, I don't see a tarpon.

Sorry about the rod.

AWESOME! Your my hero man the day I hook and land a poon on a fly...my life will be just about complete.

Ps: Buy a 360 gear mount and capture those jumps...you will become an internet sensation almost immedetly. (I would know )

Sorry about the rod. Nice to hear that the tarpon are around again. How was it driving through that fog on the mainland?

Awsome job with the fly....pisser about the rod

Funny I cant make out the shoreline, fog must have been thick

Ok I guess the tarpon are here - ignore my comment on other thread. Awesome to land a tarpon on fly / kayak. Real bummer on the rod. It would have been a sight to see the hookup and backing come flying off the reel.

BF, your now on my favorites list.

Nice, Tarpon on the fly from a yak, next you will have to only use one hand with an 8 wt!
BTW, I wonder where you were?
Kudos.

WOW I didnt know the Poons were up this far yet, great job. What did he eat for ya?..Sorry about the Scott but they do have a lifetime warranty!!!!!!!

Great report
