FP,
That was a figment of your imagination. Repeat after me, there are no tarpon in Big Bend waters. There are no tarpon in Big Bend waters. Trout are good, redfish are great. There are no tarpon in Big Bend waters.

Me thinks he is telling you to stop posting Tarpon Tales because much like the movie line "I see Dead People", He's thinking "Ï see customers" and if your posting the info, they don't need him. Thats cool!

A big sailcat can pull yer line about as good as anything I've hooked. But did he jump like the tarpon? That would have been a sight! :wink:
