awesome dude ive never caught a tarpon but a lot of snapper

nice fish =] i hooked a tarpon ona light weight spinner lol never saw 150yrds of line say bye so fast =[

nice nice !!!

i fish the professional tarpon tournament series in boca grande and that is definiteley not the boca grande pass it is completley full of boats unless you are away from the pack

theres usually 40 people in in the pass

Met a guy recently who caught a tarpon off Gambia. About 8′ – 9 ‘ long but said they were known for coming straight at the boat when hooked. The tarpon cleared the side of the boat,went through the wheelhouse and became lodged.Took out the steering and radio.They had to put up flares to get towed back in. Some fish !!!!

i had that happen to me at the skyway pier in st pete last week. had a tarpon hit a jumbo shrimp as i was fishing for snapper. got spooled in like 30 seconds, there was nothing i could do.

lol im goin fishin tommoeow add me as friend ill tell u wat i catch

that first tarpon in the video, real nice work on bowing down when he jumped..i’d say that fish was a good 100-120 lbs..for me the hardest part of fighting the big tarpon (100 lbs and up) is remembering to do that when they jump, you have to time it, almost anticipate it..these things can dart all over the place at over 30 mph..i’m never worried about getting spooled, i keep about 400 yards of 30 lb test..thats light for a main line but there’s alot of line capacity for him to run and tire out

but i got a few yards of 50 lb, a few yards of 100 lb, and about 8 ft of 200 lb test as leader, when they run straight out their tail smacks the leader and they can break you off like that, and numerous other ways as well..even their scales can cause line to have abraisions
