Tarpon are perhaps the greatest gamefish on the planet.

Killer link, thanks.

I have to agree. There are few game fish I haven't caught, but none get the heart pimpimng like a tarpon. Great video. Ryley come on down with KK and I next spring and make a better one. KK, where is the one you have been working on for five months?

It must have taken hundreds of hours and editing to come up with this spectacular material. I'd consider buying the full movie when it becomes available.

It's interesting to me that this was done in Florida instead of Central America.

I've been fortunate enough to have fished the same waters, but not Tarpon.

Shows we have some pretty great fishing on our home ground.

Looks like a blast. I'll look for that as a longer length fishing flick. My buddy and I got our first taste of tarpon fishing in March, with the resident baby tarpon in Mexico. Definitely want to try that again. A bit like fishing for permit in that the angler is always challenged to fire off an accurate cast of the right length in the right direction, with the wind trying to F it all up.
