three years ago i was fishing bahai honda st park (marathon in the florida keys) under the bridge. i hooked up on a nice tarpon w/ a 20# spinning outfit and in the blink of an eye i can see the bottom of the spool. the captain was fumbling w/ the glouster ball and anchor line and i get to the bow of this boat and i'm living on stretch. the cap starts the boat and saves the day. while chasing down this tarpon a hammerhead shows up and we have to let the fish run from the shark. we finally loose the shark and bring the fish boatside, capt says 150# maybe more. my first silver king and not my last i hope.
