Yucatan Peninsula - My eyes are telling my brain that a fifteen pound Baby Tarpon just ate a Monarch Butterfly off of the water’s surface in the backcountry of Ascension Bay, in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. In the same instance my brain is telling the muscles in my arm to deliver my fly two feet left of the butterfly. The fly lands softly and sinks, the Tarpon gulps the butterfly and submerges. He sees my offering immediately. Even if I had wanted to, I couldn’t have taken my fly away from him once he saw it. He grabs the fly, I set the hook, and he goes airborne instantly shaking every muscle. His elongated body is a massive pliable mirror reflecting everything into a blur of wild silver flashes.
