As I was doing mighty battle with one of those big BG on a 3 wt rod and line today, a memory flashed before my eyes of pompano that I had caught off a pier in Ft. Walton Beach, FL, half a century ago. The fish had turned its side to me and I could see it just below the surface. Those little buggers really can fight hard. They need to be fished on light tackle to do justice to how game they are.
