New NC State Record Tarpon

[Blue_Runner]

Hey guys, a lady at my work has a place down there at Emerald Isle. She brought me Sunday's paper with the article.

Some info from the article:

* he's 16 yrs old (but still a big guy ;))
* can you believe they got it up with a pier gaff?? WOW :o
* old state record was 164 lbs in 1978 off Indain Beach pier
* It jumped 4 times, peeled 400 yards off his Shimano Tiagra 20 on the first run, with several more shorter runs.
* 20lb test mainline with a 40lb shocker.
