Catching a Tarpon Out of New Port Richey... (Catch And Cook)

Today I head out to Tampa FL. to do some kayak fishing and end up hooking and catching a monster tarpon for the kayak, I estimated around 4-4.5ft. Using a Z Man fluke for most of the day I was able to get some crazy action and finish up with a mangrove snapper catch and cook.

Dude, I about raged on you -- tarpon & catch/cook should never be in the same sentence. Well played clickbait sir.
