Excited Much?

When your buddy catches the first tarpon on your new tarpon rod, you may get a little overzealous.  Check it out around the 1 minute mark.

Great Job of Guiding a Client to a Tarpon

Love stuff like this.  Tarpon's back slowly breaks the surface, guide says things like, "wait until I say cast", "one more false cast and then drop it", "strip, strip, strip, striiip, stop".  It's like the guide is feeding the fish and you're just the vehicle to make it happen.  Love the interplay.

Sarasota Florida Tarpon--Sightfishing Edition

Easily seeing the tarpon coming toward the boat and getting multiple casts at multiple fish is always what you hope for.  Does that mean you'll get a fish to the boat???

Islamorada Tarpon--Pony Tail Edition

There seems to be a movement to get female hosts on many fishing shows these days.  Fishing is typically 90% males or more but many are looking to tap into the female market.

Top Notch Tarpon

I believe I've posted this in the past but I just watched it again and I think you need to watch it again too.  Unbelievable!

Florida Tarpon/Herring?

I have a buddy that thinks tarpon are just oversized herring.  The locals cut plug their herring for salmon but this takes it to another level.

Florida Tarpon

Tangled

This one reminds me of my last steelhead.  I set the hook with a moderate amount of slack line still in hand.  As the fish starts running down river the line loops around my finger and knots itself on.  I ran downstream continually trying to flick the loop off my finger hoping to keep the leader from breaking.  Eventually I managed to free the line from my finger and land the fish.  This video from 406 Productions makes my little episode look like child's play.
