RIP Capt. Gary Thompson. You were one of a kind, and a truly impressive Everglades guide.

[@NeversinkJimmy]

R.I.P. Gary Thompson. We lost a true Everglades Tarpon icon when we lost Gary a few months ago. What a great guy.

[@addictivefishing]

True that.

[@RWoodOutdoors]

Addictive Fishing inspired me to start my KZbin channel! Love these early episodes!

[@Coinomic]

This is fishing.

[@peterlee6707]

Holy crap, this fishing looks intense. Makes my typical fishing for trout look like sleep away camp.

[@ttylenemy]

The first time I went fishing in the everglades was when I was 17 yeaRs old, in 2014 as a graduation gift from my dad. We fished with a man named Captain Gary, and tbh it was the most fun I've ever had fishing. I've fished up in Oregon. In the Umpqua, and tbh Chinook and steelhead salmon, tarpon and barracuda are my favorite fish to catch

[@aleramone23]

What a beautiful kind of fish, awesome fighters.

[@bobbybicepcurls]

I love this show! You rock Mogan Man!

[@Stephenhardie]

Heading to the Rio Parismina in Jan. That should be fun.

[@luizcaju1]

Fantastico,pena que de cada dez fisgadas,nove escapam,grande batalha,parabens Blair.

[@robohandle2883]

That looks like fun. Great fishing.

[@robsimpson6537]

Spectacular fish 🎣

[@hcoffman100]

Alright, thanks for the quick and thorough answer I really appreciate it.

[@schmuelsons]

Well what can I say, this is the Everglades, good place, superb conservatory condition and the best place for fish. Not even the virgin mangrove forest of Papua New Guinea can match the Everglades. Wonderful video guys. My sons just love it.

[@natemadel9839]

Hahaha this was awesome. Must be torture to have them spit so many lures. Love the show Blair!

[@risenflame]

@AddictiveFishing Thanks! Love the show!

[@jeremiahgiles3593]

STILL the best Tarpon episode!

[@luizcaju1]

Video fantastico cap Blair.......parabens.

[@John_D2]

the little sound effect of the line coming off the spool cracks me up..I'd like to see you go back and make the same show today ; ) that would be sweet ! can y'all remember where those fin-nor reels were made back then ??

Wow!!! Nice video I've completed watching your video it's very nice and interesting

[@NOVOCOOL]

what you say sir?? "CAME ON BABY.. .JUST GIVE ME SOME MOREEE!!".. i like itt!!!

[@gc3098]

GREAT camera work. Also - pays to have an excellent Electric Motor.

[@addictivefishing]

plugs are hard plastic baits with treble hooks. With live bait on a J hook, you will need to set the hook. With a circle hook, you allow the fish to hook itself by just reeling when the fish takes the bait. Bowing to a tarpon when he jumps allows the line to go slack, so when the fish shakes it's head it won't break the line or throw the hook.

AWESOME! I've fished them at Boca Grande what a blast! And you definatly have to "Bow to the King several times to get one in! Great stuff love your videos! I'm from Maine and I went out fishing for Reds and Snook onetime. And decided right then and there that's where I'm retiring! (At the age of 48)

[@MrRetroville]

[@PikeOnWobblersUA]

I'm a fisherman from Ukraine and we do not have as many fish as you. My dream is to go fishing with you! With pleasure I watch your channel!

[@seeinstripes]

Blair, I just told my store manager here at Striper Soup if I caught tarpon like that, I might never go striper fishing again. That was a great show.

[@truedownmexican]

What are some good lures for night fishing for tarpon? I'm fishing the st lucie river for them? i have gotten acouple on a lipless crankbait

[@hcoffman100]

Hey what size circle hooks would you get for the size tarpon that I said I'll most likely be catching? Are mustad 7/0 and 8/0 too big?

[@ebroaventura4181]

simplemente impresionante

[@AndoyAdventure]

New friend here bro. Hope to see you soon on my fish pond.

[@addictivefishing]

Oh yeah! Fish on.

[@borges1215]

[@addictivefishing]

I'm not a fan of gaffs for tarpon, but Gary is a true pro and knows how to take care of the fish. I would rather wear the fish our more and make it easier to handle them.

[@MrKveite1]

Thats a nice little herring there dude:)

[@mdmohiuddin2762]

very good nice

[@starzship]

W O W!!

[@user-di2kq4mj5k]

goodtel

[@christopherthompson2507]

This is good fun,I would do this all day everyday even if they all getaway.

[@treeoh5]

where is this? i live in miami, is this accessible through miami or the keys? and are you using a mono leader?

[@addictivefishing]

bow to the king - point your rod at them when they jump to minimize them throwing the hook. Use circle hooks.

[@fishingkhmer2963]

wowo awesome fishing

[@djpat5998]

If I threw my reel like that I would get one hell of a birds nest.

[@nyoloho]

What tackle were u using here?

[@Danfranschwan2]

"you gotta put pressure on the fish so he can't keep the air in his LUNG" lol ^^ gills... fish have gills :D

[@chillanajma5283]

Big tarpon good fishing but tarpon in my country very very small

[@pezfishing7358]

It is so big fish

[@teebeexOx]

cool

[@addictivefishing]

@risenflame Bow to the king, when they jump, point your rod at them to give some slack. If you are too tight when they jump, they will either break your line or throw your hook.

[@AlanSpenceAlanGCCMSpence]

Blair, On the golden Eye Maverick Lure,did I hear you say you AD a circle hook too the back treble hook? just slip the circle hook eye over the treble or ? '?

[@thammarongkhamnuanv6450]

[@risenflame]

What's the best tactic when they start jumping as much as they do here? I've always struggled with what the best tact would be. I've read some articles, and try and imitate what I see here, but still seem to have trouble reacting....

[@cuongnguyenvan5889]

tuyet

[@DisturbedRck5]

What kind of bait should I use for big reds

[@hcoffman100]

Hey guys I don't really understand plugs, could somebody explain them to me? Also, are the hooks you guys are using in this video J hooks? One more thing, how do you set the hook into a tarpon with a J hook and then how do you do it with a circle hook, and when you bow to the king do you still maintain pressure on the line and just don't pull quite as hard or do you completely point your rod at it right when it jumps and therefore let slack into your line?

[@tahirildz7171]

Tebrikler

[@clentmitchel3520]

3 times i hooked a tarpon and it got away and even broke my rod any tips on what lures and line to use it would be very helpful please

[@addictivefishing]

just used the standard lure out of the package.

[@peterhino6433]

Awesome show! rick Murphy who?

[@addictivefishing]

lol

[@darthnopants4807]

There's nothing like catching tarpon with plugs, (spell correction wants me to catch tampons). You will miss tons of fish, but it's so much more fun than anything else, once you finally land one.

[@bawdhed7]

Never caught a Tarpon yet. But sure want to in the next month and a half. I've got DOA Terror Eyz, other DOA lures, and MirrorLure Plugs to. I went to the Thousand Island channel and docks in search for them and all I got was trout and reds there. They gotta be there at this time of year. Anybody know where else? Blair? Got this strong feeling their in the Thousand Island Channels and house docks.
