Giant TARPON in the Backwater

[@bryanli8584]

[@zzironmonkzzz]

Try bending the hook to the left or right of the head offset it a bit we do this all the time on the gulf coast for tarpon helps a lot with the hookup ratio

That reel sounds like it needs a major service 😂😂 amazing fish dude.

[@eastcoastoutdoors902]

I just got spooked by something monstrous like an hour ago. Those tarpon had everything on whatever I hooked. I need a van stall lmao

[@frenchtoast963]

You don’t need a Van Staal man. Just get a reel like the Saragosa, Slammer III, Daiwa BG or BGMQ, Certate SW, Twinpower SW, but the best way to find a reel that you like is to feel it in a shop. If I had the money I would definitely get a Saltiga, but that’s my opinion. You might like a different reel than the Van Staal, but you’ll never really know unless you feel the reel in your hands. Good luck man and slay those fish!

[@greygraham5361]

@@frenchtoast963 staals specialize in situations when ur dunking ur reels, other than that you’ll be better off with a smoother/ better dragged saragosa or twin power

That was a beast! I just got my tarpon rig ready lol

Sick content as usual...no 100lb'ers jumping in the boat like the last video but that monster you hooked was definitely pushing 200lb. Can't believe you got it boatside on baitcasting tackle!

Nice work. How would you rate what you were using compared to a Hogy Pro Paddle?

What day was this? Sounds like Saturday with all that wind!! i was there that day but tried the bay first with no luck..Didn't want to run the canal in my Gheenoe with all that traffic focused on the backwater that day..

[@tylershaffer4287]

Bro you didnt bow at all you may have lamded that fish if you bowed to the king

[@FLBassmaster]

Me and many captains have a reason for not bowing. when u bow you create slack in the line causing the hook to come loose if not all the way thru

If you don’t mind me asking what size jighead do you use for the NLBN?

[@jayeseong3825]

More tarpon plssss

[@kingsriderx]

I think the reason you are losing so many fish that day, is your lack of a good hook set. You go tight, real tight, but you don't keep hammering the hook into the mouth of the tarpon. You're fishing like you have a circle hook on. That first fish was not close to 190lbs, more like a buck twenty. Still an awesome bite bite.

[@FLBassmaster]

Yes I can agree with the hook set 🤣 but gonna have to disagree on a buck twenty as I have caught a 215lber in the Miami River as per bone fish and tarpon trust and this fish was very close in girth and length to that fish I do realize it doesn’t look as big on GoPro but take it as you like I do appreciate you watching the vids brotha 💪🏻
