If you ever get the opportunity to fish for Tarpon, go for it. Imagine using medium action spinning gear and catching a fish I would compare to a smallmouth but on steroids. Had the pleasure of fishing for tarpon on a trip to Puerto Rico. Had a 100 lbs. class fish on but lost it near the boat when the leader broke. Lost another quality fish when it jumped out of the water like a missile. I was in complete awe that I forgot to bow to the mighty king. I was able to land two smaller tarpon around 15-20 lbs. Amazing how they turn there bodies sideways, just like smallies, thumping there tails trying to stay down.

Very cool web site. I just returnded from Key Largo two weeks ago but was unable to get out for any Tarpon. Caught a few smaller cudas from around the marina at the hotel we stayed at. One of our friends is looking at renting a house in Big Pine Key in February. If all goeas as planned, I will hopefully have a chance at catching another silver king.

February isn't prime time for tarpon in the keys.. you'll wanna get down there in June/July.
