The boat rocks gently. Sunlight glints off the water. A rod bends suddenly. The angler grips tightly. A massive silver form breaches the surface. Water sprays as the tarpon thrashes. Its scales shimmer in the light. The fisherman strains against the powerful fish. Muscles tense as the battle continues. Slowly the tarpon tires. It's guided alongside the boat. Photos are snapped to capture the moment. With care the majestic fish is released. It swims away strong. Grins and high fives are exchanged. An unforgettable San Juan fishing memory is made.
