This is probably the worst tarpon season for me. I either jumped or leadered one tarpon per month (May, June, July). Here's one from July 11 off AMI. Fish never got into the backing.

Oh how the mighty have fallen, must have been quite the drop from a horse that high!

Sobriety was overrated.

Absolutely crazy. Great video. I cant believe you catch these guys with a fly rod. I cant wait to try out my new tatpon rig. I sent you a pm with my number. Id love to fish with you some time in the next couple of weeks.

Somewhere there is a very informative article here on tarpon fishing from a kayak. Required reading sir!
Watching a spent fish sink to its death just plain sucks.
Rik, link it pls.

Thanks Rik. So 99, mmm Barbara Feldon, but I digress, read and heed. If you don't have a drift chute, buy one. It's mucho important. Go for a ride a few minutes and then throw it out. Have it at the ready!
Pls don't go it alone until you have some fish under your belt. It's just plain irresponsible to the fishery unless you light leader it and break em off but that ain't easy to do sometimes. Good luck and take care of our silver treasures.

And now he's down there helping his uncle

Assholes

Assholes us?

We weren't the ones dissing guys and calling them names for using bait and proclaiming superiority by only using artificials.

That is until you couldn't stand them catching more fish than you.


Now that's an asshole

This asshole went fishing again today.
