DaveR Catches a Tarpon.....AGAIN!

Post by Manning »

Well the old legend was up to his usual tricks again this morning. He hooked and landed one of the most acrobatic tarpon I have seen this year. This fish did 7 or 8 great jumps. Dave is getting so good at this thing that he even gives a fish a very thorough oral exam before he releases it. If you don't believe me just check this picture.

Thanks for your help and pics Steve. She swam off fine after a short tow.

Here is the video version of Dave's latest catch. The video actually catches a couple of jumps. Also note that you can see the moon in the sky above Dave as he fights the fish.

Nay sayer. They will be in our parts for another month. Remember, it was a late start. After that they will still be in a few haunts but more mileage will be involved.
