Matt
Almost. It was my buddies first fish. He’d had enough
WOOHOOO, bigs!!!
Keep em coming..!!!
Bigs,
Let's hear some details, brother. Where are you at? Fly, lure, or bait? Was that the only one, so far?
For those who missed it, last May, I started a fishing thread on the CF, while I was down in Florida tarpon fishing. Here's a short video recap of my trip. I'm absolutely addicted to tarpon fishing, almost as much as bowhunting.

Wish there was a like button!!
I’ll just say BAD AZZ! Great short clip GG! Gonna make time for that soon!
Mix of crabs and pinfish. We went 1 for 6 tonight. Buddy caught his first one. Been a long time since I’ve seen a bite like this
Sounds like fun! Post more pics when you can!
We call it the Nat Geo bite. Nothing like it:...
Matt
That was an awesome thread! Well done big! (and Matt, thanks for posting your highlight reel :))
I thought all the tarpon videos online required girls in skimpy bikinis?!
How cool is that?!
Tarpon are on my bucket list also. We are heading to St. John next March, anyone ever tried fishing there that would be willing to provide me with some knowledge?

Tarpon just get into your blood. Nothing quite like the king!
Can’t wait to head back again next May.
Wow! That looks like fun.
Great pic, PSU!!
Keep after ‘em, Bigs!

Fantastic!! Your wife is one up on mine. My wife always gets intimidated and hands the rod to me. LOL.

Nice!!!! Looks like a blast!!! I fished for tarpon in Belize ,great time...CONGRATS
Did it for the first time at the end of May in the Keys. Won't be the last time. First day was a dud, zero for two. Went 3 for 7 one the second day.
Careful, Mike. If you’re like me, you’ll get so hooked you’ll buy a boat and spend months at a time chasing the silver kings.
My buddy...bowing to the King.
Oh my, nice fish!
Solo: St. John US Virgin Islands. Sorry about that.
Cool thread! Never did land this guy but fought him for nearly an hour in Mexico few years ago.
Great trip:)
One more time!!! Some 60-70lbers today on light tackle

Bigs,
Have you got the fly rod out, yet?
Matt
These would have been perfect for the fly!!! Had the in-laws with me though. Was there first fish
And I’m almost 40 with deteriorating shoulders......
Almost 40? You're just a pup, son. ;-)
It looks like you're having a great time, and turning a lot of newbies onto their first Silver Kings. Good on you, brother.
Matt
heard they taste like eagle
“heard they taste like eagle“
