Wrong as usual Craig. I used that little guy for cut bait to land a few of my own.:shedevil

Looks familiar... Where is your tarpon at taylor? Let me guess he was floating belly up before you could snap a picture :nonono

Yes, the second pic is from Bahia Honda. I do have to say that I was more than pleased to lead Deadly Dick to his first tarpon and I even showed him my secret back snatching technique so they can't rub through the leader. That was a nice fish for 12lb tackle, every bit of 30lbs:poke. My guiding abilities seem to be improving every trip. The third pic is a view of just a small part of my daily commute every day each summer. :)

Looks like you snagged him in the back and it made his eyes glow!

Nice job! I like that second pic also. I think I stood in that exact same spot before. Was that at Bahia Honda State Park? One of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

Ah- the Keys are wonderful aren't they?! The second pic is from 7 mile bridge. I've been diving and fishing there many a times. There a 12' hammerhead that trolls that area and he's scared the crap out of me a couple times while diving.

Glad you explored our beautiful state!
