This is the best 30 minute fishing video I've ever seen. Perfect footage. Huge wild fish. Excellent music. So chill but exciting. This video should have over a million views. Great work!

[@RodrigoVargas72]

10 years ago! Time passes and yet when you have a giant poon on the other end it seems to pause. Great video 10 years later. For beginners, it doesn’t matter if it’s 2010 or 2050, hooking a big tarpon on a float tube is HARD sh*t.

[@nickmavrogordato234]

Unreal man. Haven’t seen a fly film with such heart coupled with outrageous technical skill. Catching hundred plus pound tarpon in backwater jungle estuaries is simply incredible- out of a goddamn float tube ! An all time GOAT fly fishing film.

[@peterbragg]

Absolutely awesome, fabulous video, thanks for sharing

[@SilentWoods123]

[@georgewcamp]

[@manuelkeats296]

[@jaystrachan7551]

Amazing boys I'm so jealous 😂👍

[@fiantsyah2688]

[@nicolascruz4009]

28:33 Love the "tabano" in the shot !!! lol

[@goran6542]

Daniel helped jeremy wade in catching tarpon what a legend.

[@Ghorjus1]

Awesome guys - I really enjoyed watching the film and “which I was there”! Looking forward to the next one🤞

[@charlesleblanc6638]

That was absolutely outrageous, can't believe he never broke a rod ! That fellas wouldn't get intimated with a Salmon hook up ! That was some great rod/fish handling techniques. What a rush that must of been.

[@brazilfishingtrips523]

Very Nice Film......

[@dianwibowo295]

[@eveegrun6693]

7:40 I have no idea what are you talking about, but it's my most favorite part 😅😂 tapam....?

[@jasonhines1232]

Epic

[@charlespenzone9769]

These guys blow

[@SnapReflexx]

Double handed retrieve..... See us northeastern folk aren't crazy after all.

[@bs5am]

Its called roly-poly (atleast here hehe) and it’s widely used for pike and trout aswell :)

[@jeremyyoung7187]

Must be the best pirate I has ever seen

[@jorgedprudo7927]

Come and fish with me here in Nicaragua TARPONS, I know all the same spots in this video and even more better unique spots

[@geoffginer8823]

Still some best footage

[@bugbiteflytying]

Where is this generally? One of the coolest fishing videos I have ever seen. Freakin’ awesome

[@WhiskyBeard]

Inland upriver from Bluefields, Nicaragua.

[@gunga_galunga8390]

I was wondering too, I love Tarpon fishing but have always been freaked out by crocs, great to know there are places where the hunter doesn’t become the hunted !

[@benrudman3917]

That’s a damn dinosaur… what an incredible fish.

[@FishOnReeF]

nice videos

[@esanchezp]

Wow, that reminds me of the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua. Where exactly was this filmed? I remember my father about fishing for tarpons on the rivers. Never had the chance to do it though.

[@eb4305]

Didn’t realize the scale of these fish in the thumbnail, blew my mind on that first full breach.

[@jfishmento4147]

well Done! no Sharks?

[@lassebrun84]

Kanon film. God underholdning og så er den skruet godt sammen

[@chrisschopenhauer6261]

and what did you guys find out regarding the tarpon tacking programm the fish after all those years - any results ?

[@creightonsmith5333]

I love the "dirt bag" approach to your fishing. What weight rods and lines do you like?

[@tapamthemovie]

Howdy, we pretty much only used 12 WT rods from Scott w/ Mako reels. Lines were mostly Leviathan lines from Rio w/ their strong core.

[@creightonsmith5333]

Ok thanks@@tapamthemovie

[@leonpoirierhunterfisher5536]

wow id love to catch a tarpon your asome.

[@tkaguirre010]

Eso sí es vida

[@cameron135]

So where can I sign up to do this at?

[@t.marburger-hof6772]

My jaw just dropped and I can't get it up again...

[@spaztazman8530]

I wanna know the soundtrack ! Calling out your name was a killer song. Who sings it?

[@tapamthemovie]

Pretty much all the music stems from Danish musician Anders Frank

[@gregkosinski2303]

Kind of interesting after he plays that big fish into a coma and then declares it will be fine, that it doesn’t then show a successful revival

[@tonyblacktopful]

...awesome, where was that ?

[@Duschbag]

Un... Reel...! 😲

[@jimknowles5483]

Thanks for sharing!! I hope they don't have alligators there..!

[@tapamthemovie]

All good, the locals are in the water all the time, there are no reported incidents.

[@paterpeter1985]

There are bull sharks though! But what are the odds? Very slim probably

[@waldemarwyrobek6515]

@@tapamthemovie I watched your movie many times and for many years I dreamed of catching tarpon with a fly in this way. This year in October I will be there, I hope that I will feel the freedom that I see in your film. Is there anything you can advise? greetings from Norway Waldemar

[@hstetser5376]

Amazing film, but I would be terrified of bull sharks and caimans..

[@jeffersonleandro912]

show

[@spentlife]

anyone know what kind of rod that is?

[@Alan-sf5hm]

Scott Rods

[@mainemade300]

U can't keep enough pressure on them to tire them out ,%90 of all lost fish is because the line went slack ,awesome fishing though 👍

[@BlueLeon2287]

I have no idea how this works lol fly fishing is so alien

[@camengilbert9456]

anybody know the name of the song that starts at 9:40 in the video? i’ve been searching for 30 min now

[@robertofishingpr]

👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

[@mohdhaznurmohdnoh5960]

CROCODILE..............

[@yosefkorn]

Where do people get the money to do these types of things.

[@bobbeck3758]

COOL. I CAUGHT A 200LB ON MY 10 WEIGHT..IN COSTA RICA

[@HouseHunterLA]

Is this Costa Rica tortuguero?

[@noblestsavage1742]

not worried about bull sharks taking your legs?

[@jmendozza]

Hello? looks like the miskito coast of Nicaragua!!!

[@tapamthemovie]

Yes, it is.

[@jasonsmith7809]

No worries about crocodiles?

[@tapamthemovie]

There are crocs there, but after many talks w/ locals (who also swim) none of them could report any kind of attack on humans.

[@Ukmongoose3]

Tagging…… more human intervention. Look what it did for the Atlantic Salmon in the 60’s. Brilliant footage tho’.

[@jenniferflores7150]

Sabe qdo eu vou pescar assim, com as pernas dentro d água nunquinha 😨

[@clairehall2514]

Just wondering if there r Tarpon surely there are bull sharks🦈☠️ as well???🤔💩

[@CraigsNews]

This seems like a horrible idea 😂
