Tarpon making comeback in SWLA?

[cmdrost]

Have a buddy swear to me that he caught a baby tarpon down in Grand Chenier last weekend. I think he had too much Miller light. But anyways...

It'd be sweet if they could make a comeback in this area. I know they used to catch them in Big lake waaaay back in the day.

Thoughts? Anyone else spot one lately?

bet it was a large lady fish!

Thats what I said, but he said it had large scales (like redfish) & tarpon have.

Them are some beast fish...I'd do anything to catch a tarpon

My wife says Ladyfish are the "poor man's Tarpon". They fight and jump like Tarpon.

I caught a 14" tarpon at the Grand Isle Bridge over the summer it took me a second to realize what it was...

I have heard of people hooking them on Big Lake.

But, I didnt realize how big lady fish got until I went on the Chandeleur Trip; these fish could eat the Ladyfish you catch @ Ensco 56.
