Was anchored up in the inlet (not Charleston) and watched a large silver fish free jump over near a creek mouth that dumps into it. What do y’all think it was - tarpon, sturgeon, spinner shark, sea monster??? Looked to be about a tarpon size but I’m not buying it.

Tarpon or Sturgeon. Why don’t you buy it being a Tarpon?
Tarpon or Sturgeon. Either very plausible.

I would definitely lean more towards Tarpon based on the location you were anchored in, perfect Tarpon territory. Sturgeon are typically deeper water fish and when they do breach, they typically don’t look “silvery” more of a grey. Seen it happen twice in the Cooper and it looks a lot different than a Tarpon breaching.
