For nearly 30 years, Billy Vogt has fished for tarpon in Lake Pontchartrain.
He heard the stories of salty old anglers trolling the lake for the fish. He knew several rodeos held on the lake used to have tarpon divisions. And he knew some of his fellow members in the Greater New Orleans Tarpon Club had pulled enormous silver kings from the lake.
