Wow! and I thought a two pound crappie was big. Beautiful fish.

Tim - if it has gills and lives in the water the poor thing doesn't have a chance of not getting caught by you. Now, would it hurt to smile for the picture?  Nice fish. Did it do a lot of tail walking?

Thanks all! Tim - if it has gills and lives in the water the poor thing doesn't have a chance of not getting caught by you. Now, would it hurt to smile for the picture?  Nice fish. Did it do a lot of tail walking? Thanks! Oh yeah. It is really amazing to see a fish that big jumping and tail walking. I also caught a smaller (25-28 lbs) that jumped a lot more. Too much fun. As far as smiling, the guide taking the pict wanted to get the tarpon back in the water. So, that was all I got.  And no weight.  he's an easy 30, so I just said 30+. maybe closer to 40+.
