my first Tarpon! Just a baby of around 60 pounds.
Sounds like you had an enjoyable trip, in spite of what you were there for. Hope all is as well as it can be for you and your family. A lot of folks you talk to who really know and do a lot of tarpon fishing will tell you that 60 pounds is a nice sized tarpon for the fly fisher. :-) Anybody else ever heard that? I once watched Jack Gartside jump a couple of them that might have approached 40 pounds, and armed with a Fenwick HMG 905, and even as difficult as it is to rattle Jack, I think that would have left some pretty serious skid marks in his shorts... :-o
