@gshok153 - "not letting them see much backing..." Talk to me, lack of transparency of the line panics the fish?

@comeonletsgofishing ...hate to say it, i did actually brake the 12wt fly rod, just above the first ferrule, and then held the fly with a broken tip topper up for the camera. if you look closely, you can see that it is in fact a four piece orvis t3, (now six piece). i held the rod way too far up and pulled way too hard. should have straight lined that tarpon... thanks for watching ~ mt
