Hurts to watch that line break. There use to be a school of 4 foot tarpon out there a year or two back. Usually dont get caught since its not like people take tackle to handle them out there. Pull anchor next time man, save yourself the heartbreak.

Tell me about it AT, last thing I expected was to catch something like that.....if it was a tarpon how long do they stay out there for?

I'm really not too sure. I'm a little hesitant to say it was a tarpon. I know they have been in that area but I think a 5+ footer would have smoked your reel. Although I saw about 5 or 6 4 footers come out of the bay last year. I think you would have known if it was a shark. Jack is another possibility but that would have made a much faster run. Going to have to put another knotch to the one that got away. Still a awesome fight. Hit me up if ya feel like chasing a few in the yak.

Cool Video Chris thanks for sharing. I had the same thing happen to me, I was wade fishing when I set the hook that fish took off like a jet I couldn't stop it I got spooled out fast my line busted and re-spooled the reel again. You just gotta love it.

| Not a tarpon we all know what acrobats they are, rarely do they stay below the surface when hooked. Big and slow running even could have been a large ray . |

How about a large Gar? Either way it was a nice fish!

| Made my last guess before watching the video. It definitely looks like an alligator gar after watching it. |

Can't be a tarpon! Too slow and deliberate! Kinda saw a dorsal in the 1st up close pic but didn't really see it in the last! So I don't believe it was a shark! Not a big jack bc it was not really smoking that reel at first! It could have been anything but I would have to agree with the gar theory bc of the way it rolled on top a few times!

The only thing that confuses me about the gar theory is that tail at the end....I did make visual eye contact with it but I honestly didn't know what I was looking at...I've caught gar with steel leaders, sharks, dolphins by accident, Jacks, Cobia, etc...
What I remember from the first sight right before the line busted was it's dark color, hook in corner of the mouth and about a foot wide...There was only one visual top fin directly in the middle of the fish and not toward the back end like a gar...I gotta get back out there, this fish played me like a fiddle...lol
Oh and one thing is for sure....Next time I go to Yarborough pass..I'll be packing like I'm going off shore..Kills me that she got away...But I guess that's why we all fish.
