Fished Gtown Sunday for Tarpon. Caught bait and was set up by 8:30. Had a hit and hook up around 9. Fish made one long run initially with the customary jumps. Gained the line back and then we spent more time running from him than after him He kept running to the boat and trying to get under it. Some fancy boat maneuvering kept the the boat behind him the best we could. After 22 minutes we were able to get him along the boat long enough to grab the leader and be able to hold it to break it off. Almost hate that I will be fishing the Mid Atlantic Billfish Tourney this year and miss the Tarpon tourney. This got me fired up. First trip and our first catch this year.
