Take a look at what the professionals are capable of. This huge tarpon was hauled into the boat of legendary Boca Grande Captain, Jeff Totten, and his Team Century/Yamaha mates who were fishing in week two of the Miller High Life Professional Tarpon Tournament Series.
Totten and Team Century/Yamaha stole the show just after the first hour of competition, when their fish reached the Miller's Ale weigh boat and tipped the scale at 174 pounds, the largest fish weighed during the 2009 season.
"We got it boys," Totten said to his team after hearing the weight. "The weather this week has been so bad, I knew anything over 170 pounds was going to be hard to beat."
The Miller High Life PTTS set a record as 72 fish were landed and released during the three hours, which equates to one every three minutes. It is the largest number on record for any single-day tarpon tournament.
The numbers were impressive but the size were not far behind. Thirteen tarpon were brought to the weigh boat, tipping the scales at 2,139 pounds. The average fish weight was just above 140 pounds.
So what are you waiting for? Get out there on the water, and be prepared for some arm-ache if you hook into one of these monsters.
