Tarpon Fishing November 2010
During his week's fishing early in November, angler Stan Nabozny battled with 6 tarpon - 3 fish (all between 150lbs & 220lbs) were leader-caught and released.  He also landed 3 Guinean Barracuda weighing 32lb 11oz, 43lb 8oz, & 50lb 8oz.

Tarpon Fishing December 2010
Stan returned to Gambia again early December.  On his first day's fishing he hooked-up and fought a big fish for 90 mins on 20lb line - the fish eventually pulled the hook on the leader.  Then opting for 16lb line, he hooked-up and fought another big fish to the boat after fighting it for nearly two hours.  It was estimated at 180lbs and then released.
