This 7 ft., approx. 200 lb. tarpon was caught and released in the bay on November 4, 2015. Pictured are Mike Mackey and Matt Boettcher, who, along with Mike’s wife Lori were enjoying another fishing trip in Port O’Connor. The Mackeys have been fishing POC for the past 16 years. The tarpon was on their “bucket list”. They hooked one about three years ago, but it shook off before they could land it. “We love the people and the fishing in Port O’Connor,” Lori says.
