Default Wicked Philly Tuna!(tarpon)

took jen out this afternoon on a quest to get her first philly tarpon. got set up caught some bluegills & crappie then a lil oover an hour into the trip a 7foot rod goes into the water. I j got jen onto the beast & she fought him for about 15 minutes before she asked to trade the fight for picture taking. landed the carp & got some pics. no idea the weight but it was bigger than the 1 i got last week & fought it for 25 minutes. caught some more crappie,bluegill,1 perch & 1 bass but no more carp. 1 for 1 again but it was a monster

Thumbs up Re: Wicked Philly Tuna!(tarpon)

LOL, great report!!! Nice day to be out catching. The crappie and gill look quite delicious. Nice size and color on that PHILLY TARPON. I call them RAHWAY RIVER STEELHEAD up here in central NJ. The GREEN CARP, LM, is the most unappealing fish in this fine post. BLEH!!!!! Nice day dude!!!!!

thanks gents. was 1st time jen got to hear drag screaming & watch a 7foot rod get yanked into a pond lol she said it was like wicked tuna when she had to tag out during the fight lol i told her she needs some more practice! those green carp & striped catfish certainly do make people crazy i refer to them as ba$$holes. i do not understand peoples hate for philly tarpons nothing around here that big,powerful & smart except muskies
