    Yea Justin thats one thing I like about your channel….you keep it realistic. Lots of YT channels would say its a 50 lb tarpon when they know good and well its only 30. I guess they think we are stupid and they do fool a lot of people but any seasoned fisherman knows fish sizes and dont fall for YT’ers that exaggerate sizes. Its nice you keep things real my guy!😎
