All I can say is Wowza. I thought he was going to chase that magnificent fish to the Keys. I wonder who was more beat in the end? The Tarpon or the Fisherman? The guy looked like he was in tip top shape but I know he felt that battle the next morning. I battled with a 30 pound Bat Ray one afternoon in Charlotte Harbor years back. It's only a fishin story, there wasn't phone videos to prove it then. Just my Brother and he says he doesn't remember it like I do. He says it was 15 lbs. not 30. Thanks for the link. It should be posted up on the fishing forum here.
