State Record Tarpon

Thursday, September 18, 2008

A new North Carolina state record for Tarpon was set yesterday by Malcom Condie.  He was fishing off the end off Sea View Pier at North Topsail Beach when he landed the 193 pound fish.  Condie was using 30 pound test line with a pop-eye mullet as bait.  It took him under an hour to land the Tarpon.  The previous state record was a 175 pound fish caught in 2005 by Jesse J. Lockowitz.
