went out fishing friday night after work, i first went to 7mile bridge but i wasent felin it, so i decide to drive all the way back two channle 2 bridge. i put out one shark bait when i first got thear on almost slack tide, then i rig up a spoon on my spinning rod and first cast get this tarpon, so i decide to walk it to the seawall as fast as i can to realease it and get back to my stuff on the bridge. im now about half way back to my spot and i hear click click click real slow so i start to run back to my rod and my line was now under the bridge out the other side, i thought to my self maybe a nurse picked it up. so i picked the rod up cranked down tight and just gave it a small jerk, and somthing started takeing line slow but veary strong. so when he needed to take a litle line i would let him beacause if i dident he would have freyed me off in one spot. after a nice tug of war i got him out. then i had to walk him to the seawall with the current to my disadvantage.
congratulations, your one of the many lucky people to live in the keys
