Tarpon Study in Bronze

Megalops

Stealthy and wary, tarpon offer anglers an irresistible challenge. They’re selective eaters and easily spooked, once hooked you have a wily adversary that doesn’t give up easily and will catch you off-guard with aerial jumps and bursts of powerful runs. The bronze study was created as a trophy for the annual Golden Fly Tarpon Tournament held in Islamorada, Florida.
