Two days after doing battle with Boca Grande's giant jewfish, I got another opportunity to slip out onto the water, and soon after hooked into my first tarpon. Forty minutes later, the silver-sided fish, which Capt. Robert Moore estimated to weigh about 80 pounds, was finally boatside. I was was exhilarated, exhausted and amazed by the tarpon's combined strength, speed, stamina and acrobatics. I'm also amazed by the fish-filled and and beautiful waters of Charlotte Harbor and have been extremely impressed by the waterside city of Punta Gorda.
