Key West tarpon

Went down to Key West last week to do a bit of tarpon fishing with site member "Joey" (www.ifishthekeys.com). The fish were nibbling rather well, here is a shot of Joey hooked up at the beginning of what would be 20 minutes of work getting this critter to the boat:

Excellent photo! I sent it to my brother back home in PR who's also a "rabid" fly fisherman, guide and fly tyer. He keeps talking about 8 and 10 weight rods, dacron backing, tippets and I don't know what else! This is what he loves to do, a wild tarpon on a fly. Good catch!
