Ben, it was a tarpon. the hook straightened out at boatside; happens all the time and isn't a big deal at all. (I just thought it was an interesting photo so I put it up.)muskiemagnet wrote:what was it? do you know?

Re: And then...
You know, Tim,
That picture stirs more emotions than a whole line up of trophy shots.
.
There's just some magical draw to a spot in the river, a lake, a fly or lure, a retreval technique, etc. that is a whole different level because you hooked a big one, and had it get away......
Bravo for the pic....

Agreed.That picture stirs more emotions than a whole line up of trophy shots.
(But then, I'm also the guy that likes the low-light pic of a dirt road through pretty hab better WITHOUT the moc stretched out than with.)

Ben, good luck with the Muskies. (Now I'm jealous.) Oh well, I guess the grass is always greener...

your's is definitely greener. still pretty cold here. snakes have been relatively inactive, except for garters on sunny days. night time temps are still in the thirties. i did flip a fox snake on friday, so the big game is starting to move. we need a stretch of warm nights. i think that would be a big help.
