I have never caught a Tarpon in Texas. As a kid we lived in Harlingen. My dad and i spent many days chasing Redfish and still do to this day. I just spent a week at Port Mansfield in June. I have thought about yrying for a Tarpon down there but its always to windy to run out to the end of the jetties in my jon boat.

Epic pics bud cant wait for the video. I knew something has looked different recently when getting on here. I somehow got logged out. You and Jesse10 need to wait for me on that trip! That would be amazing just to see while taking a shift polling on the platform .fantastic fish Capt.!

Beautiful fish. Looks like a blast. I have to get to the keys someday. Searched local waters for Tarpon a couple of times fly rod in hand, but havent seen any to cast at. Did jump two and land one here on my baitcasting rig chunking plugs. Most explosive fish Ive ever hooked, gave me a big case of buck fever both times. Tarpon are definitely in a special fish.

Those are the perfect size tarpon. Lots of fun to catch, but don't totally wear you out. Congrats on a great day!
The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach

Then we can talk about more exotic destinations.
