Wow! That's a shame... but it goes with the territory down there.

Love to hear the full story of the catch and the trip?

Same thing happened to the only tarpon I ever got close to landing.

Ha!
Mine just cut the tippet after 55 min. of fighting on a flyrod. That looked way smaller that that " fat girl" I had on!!

We saw sharks but they were following a school of Jacks. That would be a shame to get one to the boat and a shark take it.

 

[RUGER]

Wow, that's crazy.

Somehow I don't think the Mrs. would approve, besides I think I wouldn't be able to concentrate! Ha!
