Thanks
I hook Tarpon from shore but only catch the smaller fish.. Most of the time I get a jump or two out of them.. If its on your bucket list now is the time to hook up with one =)

At 2:00 2:10 they were other Tarpon rolling...
A hardy giant that can survive in a variety
of habitats and salinities, the tarpon can even
gulp air for extended periods when not enough
oxygen is present in the water to sustain it.
tarpon-like fish have been discovered
in fossils dating to the Cretaceous period,
100 million years ago. In prehistoric times, there
were many more species of tarpon; today, there
are just two: one that frequents the Atlantic and
another found in the Indo-Pacific area.
