Agreed! There were barnacles and oysters on it so I pushed the leader down and just held on best I could. I was so sure the fish was done before making that move.

Another great vid! Thanks for sharing and congratulations. Tarpon gave up when he realised it was John S. who'd hooked him, the man who has more patience than fish have stamina. Really enjoying the Fla. videos which have so much versatility. From tarpon to snook, from redfish and trout to sharks and sheepshead - not much you have left out in just two seasons of fishing there. Tight lines!

Some observations from a rookie here: 1. That takes years of skill and confidence to be that patient with that fish and as you said … not exactly the right set up. 2. That set up from lure to reel to pole and line will sky rocket in sales overnight. And finally, at least we know you are in pretty good shape breathing heavy like that. Pretty amazing footage. Bravo!!!

@@JohnSkinnerFishing thanks! I use a plastic fish grip, really handy when unhooking trebles. Your comments about sapping energy on the jumps and gaining energy with the gulps really helped me time it so I could safely get her to the side of the boat without snapping my rod or getting pulled in. I towed her about 5 mins to revive her and she swam off fine. Oh and like you I said thanks! Wow, what a ride.

That was quite a landing (that's some serious skill) and I'm really glad the battery lasted that long (that part may have been luck) and got enough back for the release! Have I mentioned... WOW!!! 😁😎🎣
