I’m sorry but as someone that hunts those things on the fly, seeing that beautiful tarpon hanging there pisses me off to some extent.

That fish will eventually be dumped back in the ocean and left to rot. A compete waste of a huge breeding female. All for selfish purposes of putting ones name in a record book.

A complete waste.

obligatory "shame they had to kill it", but I'd bring that big bastard in too if I caught it.

Looked huge when we went and checked out the fish table. I thinknsomeonesaid it was a rodeo record, I'm not sure if that's true or not.

All the fish weighed in are donated for study if I'm not mistaken. In the grand scheme, it's very few fish on the Louisiana Gulf Coast killed per year.

Sad thing is, a fish of that size most likely migrated here to breed.


Literally killing the ones ready and able to breed.

tarpon that size had bred many times....

FWIW only way I would kill one is to win a rodeo or a record fish.
