62" by 30.5" Tarpon. Caught on the same rod/reel and line I caught my 131lb on last year. Light tackle Penn Battle 4000 with 20lb line. Official fight time was 2 hours and 3 minutes. Leadered the fish 12-15 times, then he would almost spool me again. Towed the boat 2 miles, and went through 3 showers/thunderstorms. Fought him through open deep water, a few skinny flats, and brackish water. Say no to heavy tackle! Fish on!
