tipupesox Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 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. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tipupesox Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 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. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
