This beast has gotten a lot of attention up here in Michigan this past week or so. The picture with it laying next to the guy is pretty impressive.

That’s a big one. I’m used to big fish down here now. My buddy is a marine biologist and charter captain and his specialty is big tarpon down here

First fish caught off the pontoon, May 2019. Might be the smallest fish I ever caught.

Is tarpon good eating?!?

Catch and release. I think you can keep one if you have a special permit but it would only be for mounting.
