I finally landed one of those pesky elusive tarpon at the canal…small black muddler sealed the deal…good showing between 6am and 7:30am…new regs state you cant lift the fish from the water…hope this is acceptable as it never cleared the water while I held it to remove the deep hook…it swam away seconds later very strong
Sweet!!!
How heavy of a rod were you using?

Congratulations!
I WAS using my 5wt but got smoked so today I went with my 8wt…this is typical size but yesterday I hooked much bigger so I went mini Big Game…used 15lb class tippet with 6 inch 30lb bite tippet…I expect many more from this spot this winter
Good job, Cordell! That is awesome!
woohoo!----nice
Did you have your hands full with the 5 wt?
when using the 5wt I kept hooking bigger fish around 30lbs or so…I always hook the biggest while peacock fishing and never have proper setup
