LOL - you guys were bitten, I was defeated! In 1979 all I did was fly fish, so on a trip to Florida I decided I too was going to fly fish for Tarpon. I remember breaking all three of my 10 weight fiberglass fly rods on those rascals - never could get the hang of bowing to the king.
I did catch a few "baby tarpon" later on my 8 weight.
Looking back, it is a good thing I was so young and lived in the Western US. If I had lived closer and been a little older, I might have been a Tarpon addict.
Go get them guys, and on one that you release, tell it that one is for Anglinarcher.
