Finally got one! Gobbled up a menhaden on top, mid-incoming tide. My first SC tarpon! 45 minute fight, most of which was right at the boat. Jumped multiple times, caught it all on GoPro. Not great pics, I was solo.
Nice job! - that’s quite a challenge doing the solo poon thing.

Beautiful fish, nice pics too. That’s a heck of a job landing a fish like that solo and photographing it too

WIGGS is the “Chuck Norris” of fishing in SC. When he puts his hands in the water, tarpon jump just to avoid being caught!
