Likely State and World Record Tarpon Released on Florida's West Coast

Capt. Justin Moore released one of the largest tarpon ever caught on Florida’s Gulf Coast on Monday off Anna Maria Island.  The monster tarpon was likely a state record of at least 250 pounds, and possibly a world record.

“I wouldn’t have killed the fish anyway. It’s just not worth it to me,” said Moore, from Holmes Beach and one of the most expert and experienced charter captains on the Gulf Coast.
