First Tarpon of 2007 on Fly!

[nestorpr]

My brother just sent me a clip from www.laregatapr.com which reports that a 78" long, 48" girth, 200+ lbs Tarpon was recently caught and released in Puerto Rico on fly. The fisherman used a Temple Fork rod, TFO large arbor 425 reel and 30 lb line. There's no mention of the fly or tippet used. Although it was a definite world record catch the fishermen decided to release it rather than kill it due to the long ride back to the dock. Now that's fishing!
