BIG enough for my tank?

[SarasotaDiver]

Got this stud last weekend. Almost made it the biggest fish in the tournament...there was another one which was 2lbs more. Sencond time in the row I missed the first place. Ohhh well...there is always a next time.

Very nice, shooting the southern open?
What depth and how was the vis?

160' and vis wasn't good deep. The first 140' is perfect clear blue and under that a big thermocline and mud. Couldn't see the end of my spear. This guy was swimming with hundreds of Tarpon (never saw Tarpon out there before) when I rolled it.

Yepp! It was the Southern Open.

Good Job.
Offshore Tarpon fishing, a whole new industry, maybe we can convince some of the 250 boats clogging Boca Grande pass to look for them out 50 miles.

For those of us (maybe only me) who don't know sport fish, what kind of fish is that (besides huge)?

We always hunt here. And there is a lots of people participate in this tournaments. Most of them live here West Coast Florida. I would say once a month we have tournaments. I do 5-6/year.

this size of carbos we are pulling up from 170'...well this is not really deep for those technical divers but for a regular diver that's a decent depth...
