150 lb. tarpon I caught on the fly in the Florida panhandle. The fish put up quite the acrobatic fight, but I finally won, landing the biggest tarpon I've ever caught. Then I decided to hop in the water with it to take this great picture! According to the guide, this fish was big enough to set a new women's world record for tarpon in this category by around 20 pounds. Beautiful fish, awesome picture! Close Window
