Dave Vedder Reverend Tarpones Registered: 10/09/02 Posts: 8587 Loc: West Duvall	There is a small lagoon in Nicaragua stuffed with Tarpon from 40 to 200 pounds. They get fished on maybe 25 days a year. They bite. That's why I try to get back there every year. _________________________ No huevos no pollo.

JTD River Nutrients Registered: 03/08/99 Posts: 3068 Loc: Browns Point,Wa. USA	My heart is racing and I was totally caught up in the action. Incredible; giant hard-fighting fish, sun... Someday. Edited by JTD (05/08/12 11:07 AM) _________________________ In the legend of King Arthur, the Fisher King was a renowned angler whose errant ways caused him to be struck dumb in the presence of the sacred chalice. I am no great fisherman, and a steelhead is not the covenant of Christ, but with each of these fish I am rendered speechless.

Salmo g. River Nutrients Registered: 03/08/99 Posts: 13526	Even the baby tarpon (10-30#) rip line faster than I can imagine, and have the line burn scars from last year. The power of adult tarpon is hard for me to fathom.

fishtale Spawner Registered: 05/04/99 Posts: 522 Loc: Kng	I have a friend that has fished the HILL TIDE and I need to go with him. He has landed them up to 180lbs and has had ones just as big eaten by Hammerhead sharks while tring to get them in!! It doesn't matter to me if I get one on a Bug rod or bait. That is on my list also!

Todd Dick Nipples Registered: 03/08/99 Posts: 28170 Loc: Seattle, Washington USA	I'm not sure how those fish are still on the line after the initial run...I guess you're lucky if they still are. Those dudes remind me of steelhead anglers, just at the wrong corner of the country. Fish on... Todd _________________________ Team Flying Super Ditch Pickle

FleaFlickr02 River Nutrients Registered: 10/28/09 Posts: 3316	Great video. I've been fascinated with tarpon ever since I saw the 7-foot beast on the wall at my grandparents' house in N. Carolina as a young lad. My grandfather died when I was 5, so I never got to hear the story of how he caught it, but I bet it was a good one. Someday....

Eric River Nutrients Registered: 03/08/99 Posts: 3513	Cool! My moment was at 1:35 when the fish left an underwater roostertail of mud as it ran at and then by the boat while the angler is dropping the F-bomb. Crazy.
