I got my first kayak tarpon! 100 lb +/- What a thrill!
I went out with Nik(yaknnik) and Art(don't think he posts here)this morning.I caught mine around 7:00 and Nik hooked up around 9:00 with his first tarpon ever. He handled it like a pro but I stayed close to assist if needed.
We did everything to be safe and had a great day.
I thought this would be something I could do once and just check it off my list but I don't think that's going to work out.
Everyone was new at this once I hope you can appreciate that.
I DID IT!!! NOW WITH VIDEO!

Thanks guys. Yeah Nik is working on a video. Hopfuly I can steal a few shots from the video. I got pics of Niks because he held his for pics at the kayak but mine broke off after getting the leader. I would have liked to get a shot holding it but I guess breaking it off after leadering is the best anyway. Nik says he got atleast one good shot of mine jumping and I am very happy with that. She jumped several times and each time my heart almost jumped out of my chest.
