Believe it or not, here are some pics of my very first fish done back in 2012.  Although I’d change the way I did a few things now, I am still pretty happy with the way it turned out.  This is a replica of an approx. 160 lb. Tarpon which I caught in Key West FL in 2011.  It took approx. an hour and a half to land is the largest fish I’ve caught to date.

Wow, for your first fish that is pretty impressive ! Tarpons are a tough fish to get right, and this one is really nice.
