72.0" / 130.0 lb. Tarpon caught by Billfish Sportfishing on Wednesday April 19, 2006 at 09:00 8.65 km from Islamorada in Monroe County, Florida (FL), United States North America using a Baitfish

This fish ate a live crab in the Teatable Channel just after sundown. It was subdued after a 45 minute battle on a 30 lb. class spinning setup.
This was another nice tarpon photo taken in 2006 before the prohibition of lifting/holding a tarpon out of the water for pictures took effect.

Glad that I'm seeing a trophy Tarpon being hoisted
Did they ban them because they have fragile jaws ?
