Jumping Poon Sequence

We went searching for tarpon again last week. The conditions were not as good as last time, but we found a decent amount of rollers. Brandon managed to stick a hook in one fish’s mouth. The fish jumped several times during the fight. We leadered the fish on a few occasions, but the fish managed to pull loose boat-side before we could land it.

I managed to capture one of the aerial displays from start to finish.

The season is still young. I can’t wait for more.
