January31,08 Florida Keys Outfitters the guides name was Bruce ,he's been on the Walkers Cay Cronicles guiding Flip for tarpon. Definatly a good guide and nice guy putting up with my lame casting ability and finally hooking me up with this fish as it was only about a 25ft cast.

Wow that's a heck of a first fish! You're going to have a hard time topping it! My first one was about 8-9 lbs and it was the biggest I've ever caught.
