@flytyerman …an 8wt is probably a little too small for big migrators. i like to use a 10, 11, or 12? wt for tarpon. more often than not i hand my customers a 12 wt and only sometimes a 10 if a 12 is too big for them to handle effectively. check out a tarpon video i recently published called “one man ~ one tarpon”, i used a 10 wt to land a monster this past spring! – mt
could? a 8 wt handle them?
what were u? holding in your hand that the tarpon ate
i? caught one the size at 0:59
Looks like Robies in the FL keys. Islamorada mm? go to robbies dot commm /tarpon dot htm A fun place to stop off to feed the Tarpon. Hey Wisc had those great lake trout 2 – 3 feet long to catch when I was a kid.

I’m from Milwaukee and? caught and released a HUGE Marathon tarpon. Best fishing day ever. Not edible, they are all released or occasionally harvested for ”trophies” (lame).
Closely? listen to? an Inception? dvd made? prior to the?? January 8th Tucson shooting, especially? around, “‘Do It.'”

Hey! I really like your video. You should think about submitting it to the Mercury Film Festival, starting June 3rd. You could win a free outboard or a fishing trip. You can? find more information about rules, prizes, and eligibility at the Mercury Marine website.
Good luck!
@suicidalmonkey83 how long did it take? to reel it in
Tarpon fishing in the keys is consistently a fantastic experience.?

@mtbpt
Thank you, I was? just trying to figure it out, haha. Great video by the way, that looked like loads of fun 🙂
hello cryo, yes, releasing tarpon is law in florida,? unless you have a tarpon tag (basically a harvest permit). that said, the world population of tarpon is not in good shape and there is no reason to kill them.
Please forgive my? ignorance, but is releasing Tarpon a law? Because I’ve never seen someone not release one.
i just went on a trip and caught a 120lb on fly and it took 1 hour and 45 min
it was one of the hardest things ive ever done
