    Default Diving for Tarpon

    Hi Guys

    Tom just got back from a trip to Cuba for Tarpon, Dean is editing the footage and there should be a DVD in a near future magazine...

    Awesome venue, awesome fishing and not always as planned. Even the "pro's" get it all wrong.

    I don't know if Tom will mention this little incident in the article to come, but it is hell of a funny...

    That's him attached to a 100lbs plus fish and this is about 10 minutes into a Mexican stand off, with the fish sitting about 80 yards off the boat, Tom cant recover any line and the fish just seems to resting.

    Enjoy.

    Ha ha ha, brilliant!

    Great Post.

    Even the giants take swims and loose fish.
    It's not in the catching, it's in the learning something new.
