Headed out this morning to grab some pinfish and try a few spots for Cobe, but was rougher than anticipated. So headed over to east flats to about 4 foot, a mile down from the lighthouse to find trout. Fished gulp and shrimp and just started to find a few shorts when we started seeing flashes of what best guess was a large school of menhaden. Next thing we know my buddy Bob says "oh" and line screams and get two sweet jumps from about 120 lb tarpon. Amazingly stayed on and so immediately fired up and made chase. Ran with her out to the stake line, then west past the channel and over west of the west sandbar out by bird rack. After couple hours decided something had to give. We had seen her good numerous times so started palming a little bit and finally broke off. Fun times!
