Braggin Board for Fishing!

Just got this 5.8lber yesterday throwing around a big 7 inch swimbait. I was at it for 3 days before I finally got a big one!

In April 2021 my wife and I went down to Charlotte’s Harbor (Punta Gorda FL) tarpon fishing. Always wanted to battle one and that we did! We landed 3 including this beast that was about 80”x40” which puts it in that 180-190# class. We took turns fighting him for nearly 2 hours and he took me around the boat a dozen times! Incredible power. I had a tennis ball sized welt on my inner thigh/groin area from the rod handle digging in there. My wife also caught a Cobia which we kept and ate that night. Probably the best tasting fish I’ve ever had right there! I’d like to do a trip for Cobia now!

SWEET!! Tarpon on a fly rod (along with steelhead), is definitely one of my favorite species to fish for. Never caught one anywhere near that size though.

Is that the Long Arm swimbait?

Tough to beat tarpon and steelhead. I like bonefish too though, especially when bigger ones are around.

Good Mexico trip.

It looks like somebody's going to need a bigger cooler.
