This is a photo J.P. Brunet shot as Lee Frankman’s tarpon hit the water after careening through the bushes. It drove upward into it’s leap from a pocket under the mangroves, went through the first layer of canopy, and crashed back into the river. Amazingly, Lee kept it hooked and fought it to the leader twenty minutes later.
Wow – this is a great photo. It looks like an atom bomb was set off right next to the trees.

Ned,
I have told a lot of folks about the tarpon who jumped into the trees. I can still see it. Miss the 10,000 islands, especially today–it’s snowing on April 27 in Minneapolis.
