Snook & Tarpon on Topwater in the Everglades

The vicious summer heat finally cooled down with a couple of overcast and even rainy days. This is a great combination for good topwater fishing the back country of the Everglades.a zara spook jr worked on one of my standard bass fishing Favorite rods and reels was a real producer of some exciting snook and tarpon strikes! I missed quite a few but had an absolute ball. My little Tracker Heritage did great

Roland, you are a National Treasure, buddy. Thank you.

Roland Martin spent most of his life trying to help the World's fishermen have better results on the water. The Heddon 'Zara Spook' is one of the most popular, and oldest top water lures. Especially with treble hooks, many Tarpon get away, which is all part of the fun and excitement. Rolland has done so much for the tackle industry, keeping all these little shops alive.

That was cooler than the backside of a pillow! Awesome video, a little slice of heaven

I’ll watch Roland till the day I die…. What an incredible, and genuine human being. It’s an incredibly unreasonable request, but I’d love to know where he’s fishing (precisely).

How far did you run from outdoor resorts?

[@gusfigueredo1120]

Any concerns running a freshwater trolling motor in saltwater???

[@tylershaffer4287]

I think its illegal to gaff them in the mouth lol i may be wrong but i dont think so

[@user-bs1vq7bk4p]

These are the worst estimates of tarpon sizes I've ever encountered. Wow.
