Catching a fish like this will make any man happy.
Anglers Tom Crawford and Marty Soole caught some great fish despite terrible conditions much of this week.
They both fought some tarpon Wednesday and Thursday. Tom landed a nice fish I estimated at close to 100 pounds as well as a big false albacore.
When the wind turned we fished inshore where they produced a grand slam between the two of them.
All in all, not a bad day on the water.
