I finished 2cd overall in the plug division for tarpon that year. I was using a custom plug rod and 5500c ambassador and get this 8lb test and casting a bucktail in government cut one night (2 hr battle and a real jumper). I lost out the last week of the tourney to Jim Anson (you miami boyz should remember him) Those were the end of the day's we kept those awesome fish and went strickly to catch and release soon there after. The fish also made the IGFA 10/1 club.
The other tarpon shots are where I was describing in the earlier post, ocean side out front of the long key state park.

I have no problem with anyone who avails themselves of nature`s bounty. The native tribes had one rule of respect. Kill it. Use it. Enjoy it. Pretty simple really.
10/1 is impressive indeed. A member of the local club caught an 80# Cobia on 20. New club leader.
Find the fish, cook the fish, make friends come back for more.
There are those that will over harvest and those who enjoy a perfectly sauteed
slice of Cobia.
Sharing is better,
