A group of four men caught a massive tarpon on June 3 in the Gulf of Mexico off the beach in Longboat Key near the Positano condominiums.
It took Clark Wright and his charter of three men about 45 minutes to reel in the fish, which weighed about 150 pounds.
“I’m 38 years old. I’ve been tarpon fishing since I was 7,” Clark Wright said. “I’ve caught a lot of them. That fish is well above average. That’s a full-grown one.”
Wright owns and operates Wrightstuff Fishing Charters. He said the largest fish he’s ever caught was between 210-220 pounds.
