Thanks for the advice, Bryan. I was able to book Lenny Lenoard and will report when we get back.

Got back from Key West of Monday night. Many thanks to J and Bryan for the great advice on a guide.

Tarpoon fishing with light tackle was one of the coolest things that I have ever done. Went out fore a half day with Lenny Lenoard. He was just outstanding, a real fun guy to fish with who put me on some fish. We used 7ft spinning rods with 20lb test braid and a 50lb florcarbon leader. Jumped 3 tarpoon on crabs, 2 in the 80 to 100 lb range, both of which I had on for 3 to 4 minutes and jumped 4 times each. One spit the hook and the other landed on the line and broke it. I did manage to land a 40 lb fish after about a 15 min fight.

Had 2 other large fish follow and blow up on a 10in hogy (wet my pants) but they kept missing the bait and were fairly close to the boat, so they took off when they saw the boat.

Sorry, no pics were taken. I will definately do this again.
