Is This a Tarpon, or What?

My friend, Pablo Rodrigo Perez, from Mendoza, Argentina, has been waging war on the tarpon in Mexico. And just look at what his campaign of terror has serve up for him! My gosh, what a fish.

His rod is not a two-hand Spey stick as might be supposed from the handle. It is a one-hand rod with a super-long handle to make fighting the fish ever that much easier.

Go get ‘em Pablo.

One happy angler and one pooped tarpon. Notice the long handle on Pablo’s rod.

My baby. The long rod handle makes it easier to hold the rod in one’s teeth, too.
