Tarpon are the toughest inshore saltwater fish in the world. We caught a big one during the Catch a Cure fishing event in the keys. I fished with Perry Blythe from N.Carolina and together with Wade Boggs of NY Yankee fame, as well as 34 other anglers a bunch of dollars was raised for research into the deadly genetic disease; Cystic Fibrosis! Everyone who fished this event WON!  Great strides have been made in extending the lives of thousands of CF sufferers through the millions of dollars raised by the Bonefish/Redfish ( Redbone) invitational tournaments over the past 34-years! All events are totally catch and release!
