Definitely a tarpon......I've seen pics of huge ones caught out of v-bay near the pass.....but they are from many many years ago..........


As far as eating them? I didn't know they were even edible. .....I heard they are about as good to eat as a lady fish, nuttin but oil....

caught on shrimp under cork and was released.

ETA - I've heard they are terrible to eat, but I wouldn't know, I've never caught one or tasted one.

Bloody meat. Not good.
There were Tarpon along the coast of Cameron 40 years ago, but I ain't seen any
since then.
If there is Tarpon in Prien Lake, it is Bush's fault.

It is definitely a tarpon, I caught one that went 23 inches in Prien Lake 3 years ago. No one believed me until I showed them the pic. We released it also.

Looking for the pic right now......
