#TBT On very light tackle it took me an hour to bring this 200lb beauty in. Took me another 15 minutes to gently revive him in the water before we released him. #UsFloridaCountryBoys #GettinItDone #AllDay #EveryDay #TarponToldMeToKissHisAssAsHeSwamAway

An hour to catch! 15 minutes to revive! 200-POUND TARPON!

ALL HAIL THE ROCK.
