Fishing For St. Augustine's #1 Big Game Fish

[@DK-sr2wi]

They are always big ones with you 🎉 love it. Hearing that drag scream makes me smile. I don't think I've ever seen you lose a fish but that shows how difficult the tarpon are with those bony mouths!

[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

Thank you very much for watching and yes they are very hard to hook and keep hooked! At the end of every season if I've got an above 50% hook up to land ratio I'm happy!

Man, when I was a teenager my parents took me to Key West and I brought my medium action Walmart rod and a Quantum Snapshot reel with 12 lb mono on it to catch snapper and some smaller jacks...I was pulling in red snapper one after another off the boardwalk, until I hooked into a 4' tarpon...lol He spooled me in a matter of seconds, ripped the knot right off the spool too...😂😂😂 A charter boat captain and his first mate were sitting on their boat drinking beer and watching me. He yells, "you're doing great, want a job!?"

[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

Lol! That's a great story and thank you so much for watching!

Thanks for watching Tracy! Yes we've had a lot of west winds lately and that has helped a lot with getting out there to em!

Is there any other way to handle a big tarpon? I'm pretty sure that I'm not bug enough or strong enough to do what you do. I wouldn't want use a gaff, even it's legal.

[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

Not really. What you could do is start working out in the gym for a couple of months before tarpon season. This is what a lot of serious tarpon fishermen do! As for me I work out year round! Cardio is important also!
