tarpon that size had bred many times....
You are right and look, I’m not trying to be on a high horse. I do recognize the strain and possible death a fly rod fight can take on a tarpon. Not completely innocent here but there are ways to fight and release a fish that allow it to be more capable of fending for itself afterwards.
With tarpon numbers declining, it’s hard to see one of the breeding females in her prime go out this way...but nothing illegal about it and it was their choice to do so. Just saddens me to some point.

This is an annual debate every year with the rodeo. Thank you for at least acknowledging that fighting a fish on light tackle caries an inherent risk of mortality to the fish. The florida crowd usually fights that point tooth and nail.
