Capt. Jimmy Burnsed, fishing customers Jim and Nina Sullivan landed this Florida record breaking Tarpon on Thursday May 19 on the afternoon tide in Boca Grand Pass.
 Capt. Jimmy  Burnsed, the second ranking guide for the Santiva Saltwater Fishing Team, used the state approved tarpon  weight chart of girth times length to get the weight of this monster fish 246 lbs.
The fight between fish and human lasted several hours and took all three angles aboard the boat to land the Tarpon.  Jim Sullivan and wife Nina said they had to give the rod up to there Captain about an hour and half into the fight.  Capt. Jimmys cousin Capt. Joey was fishing the pass too and came along side for the historic event.
