Nice tarpon fishing in Puerto Rico

Just returned from vacationing back home. Did some great tarpon fishing with Capt. Rafa from Puerto Rico Tarpon Connection (www.puertoricotarpon.com) and here are some shots. My son hooked the largest one, about 60 lbs, but it threw the hook on its last leap. Caught 4 tarpon about 20 lbs each and had over 13 strikes in 4 hours of fishing!

BOW TO THE KING!!

certainly looks like a whole lot of fun. I'll have to give that guy a call the next time I'm in PR

It sure was! I think he's the best inshore charter capt. in the area, plus he's also well versed in flyfishing for these babies. 60 and 100 pounders are common and so is large snook and others. Give him a call, you won't be sorry!

These are common catches in PR, the water's about 5-12 feet deep and the fish are huge! Plus, there aren't that many people fishing for them so they're not easily spooked. Try it, you'll like it!
