I wanted an easy day of fishing and Mother Nature supported that decision by placing a school of Glass Minnows and Pilchards right at the launch. Then made the current outgoing which set-up a nice close channel right by the bridge. With those two components I knew it was going to be an easy day.

Don't beat yourself up, your a fishing machine and have caught more fish than most, your knot didn't come undone, the tarpon untied it, now that's a fishing story to tell!

So much fun watching the fishing spot fill up with Tarpon and eat the bait. So epic man. Great work, keep it up sir!!!
One of my all time favorite KZread fishing channels !!!! Keep up the good work much love from San Diego 🤙
Love the channel.I had a thought while watching this, if you are chumming, all of the bait you are chumming with is sinking at a certain speed. When you have a weighted hook, your bait starts falling and acting much differently than your chum, and your bait can stick out like a sore thumb. This can be a good or bad thing depending on the scenario like if the big fish are deeper and you want to get the bait down to them before the little guys get it.However, if the seem to be hesitant, a quick switch to a smaller thin wire hook to be the ticket so that it doesn't affect the action or sink rate of you bait. I find this especially useful when chumming finicky snapper. Again love the content. Much love.
I did the same thing with my net the other day. It was so bad I considered throwing it away, ugh...I feel your pain. Awesome video. Thanks for the idea of chumming with the stuck bait.

New subscriber dude! This video got me. Great job showing and explaining everything you do.
What an incredible fishery!
You are absolutely the nicest fisherman on KZread you're loving the dream
Amazing footage 👏! That was an awesome day on the water. You have news friends here wishing you all the best! Tight lines!
When I use live bait I sacrifice one or two and I smash them up really good and I use their juices as hand lotion before I start fishing that seems to mask my scent and I catch a lot more fish when I remember to do that. It was really fun watching your video thanks I’m in Northwest Florida and fish for reds trout and flounder but we do have the occasional juvenile Tarpon that come up our way and they sure are fun to catch
Excellent video. Exciting!!
Great video. I love fishing by the bridge here at Lake Norman NC. Not only bc there are great bass along the rocks....I like making all the commuters jealous of me while they're stuck in gridlock traffic on 77. Lol
Awesome video man !

Love the channel. I like that you show the little things that drive all of us mad…line twisted around the tip of the rod…gear getting loose and in the way…etc. most channels just show a guy catching a fish, you take the ego out of it. This is a great channel to learn a ton about inshore fishing. As a side note I just punched a 5 pack of your Cuda Tubes.
Love your videos, thanks for sharing with us.
That looks so much fun you should do guided trips I bet people would pay a lot to catch a tarpon and do what you do
I award you the best charismatic stylish tarpon king 2021
By nice coincidence this showed up in my recommendations at the same time the latest tarpon prep video dropped, and I haven't seen this one before so yayyy
Great video that water is beautiful😁
Eu surfo e gosto muito de pesca. Belas edições amigo.
That is a really good spot. The guy knew how to find the fish and set up that's for sure.

Wrong net size for those baits lol. Mirco or small tarpon are pretty guaranteed in key largo to Islamorada. Let’s have a one day fishing tournament( live streamed) for 1k or 2k a boat. 1st 🥇 takes the pot. You can pick the species the date and location also 🤷♂️. If you turn it down maybe 1 of your viewers wants to take your spot. No I’m not a guide in the keys. You can reach me at bobhewes21 or anthonyhewes21 on intragram. This is 💯.
Such a fun video, that tarpon that got loose was huge!
Beautiful beach, great video, love it
Great vid. Made my day you for sure earned a sub here. Love this man!

Amazing..nice catch 👍
Best feeling in the world is throwing a net like that and seeing chaotic shimmering happening inside of it😌
First day of fishing! 😜😝😆🤣😂🤤 Still sweet footage of the tarpon eat on the lure. 🤙
Gotta love the keys!
God, I wish we had water that clean here in SE Texas. So beautiful. Love snagging a Tarpon. We have very few big Tarps down here
Wow this spot is fantastic,
This looks fun
One day I'm gonna get to tarpon fish. Very nice vid.
Good job my friend.. I like your fishing video..nice size tarpon...
What a set up you have! Thats freaking awesome 👌
Very nice good cast
The bucket man 😭😂
A beautiful spot to fish. I can't imagine why people want to run a boat twenty or thirty miles out when you can catch fish like this, close to shore.
I think you need a stronger leader line or a better knot. I recommend the Palomar knot.
wow😯😯nice fishing brother 🙏🙏🙏🎣‼️
Those craters were made during the filming of PT 109. No kidding. Look it up. Great fishing holes year a round.
Aliex, that was An Epic vid bro. Those juvenile Tarpon, and the big 100lb Tarpons get tired. Steve actually walks them, until they're fresh. Those sharks just wait. 🌊 🎣 🌴
Damn! Crazy fish

Just a suggestion next time to try to grab the tarpon, because those hooks take a while to rust out. Awesome video, it’s fun to play with the tarpon because I’ve hooked so many.
so beautiful water
Great video and catches of fish tarpon are awesome and are they pretty hard to fight and do they have teeth
Nice looks like I'll be getting a free fishing trip 🤔
the tarpon dropping that scale was straight out of a video game lol like for every couple tarpon you catch you get a collectible scale or something 😂
You seem to be the expert on the df2.5 Suzuki. I have a question. I cleaned my carb the other day, and when I was putting the carb back on, I cross threaded one of the bolts and stripped the hole in the intake tube. Long story short, everyone has them on back order with no eta. I think I can get a nut on the bolt on the backside of the intake tube. Is this a good solution? Note, it's the outside bolt that's easy to get to the backside of the intake tube...thanks

Amazing tarpon when they fly on the air
Wow, sooooo cool 😎
when you just get to many glass minnows in your net, pinch and shake first to get as many as you can then, set it outside for a day or two, then hang it up and pressure wash it with a hose and nozzle, they just wash out after about a day. then put about a cup of hair conditioner in a five gallon bucket mix well. let sit over night, take out in morning, wash out good and hang it to dry. this will make your net much easier to shake out unwanted bait next time.
One question, but im sure inquiring minds would like to know.. whats the best catches here for people that dont normally like seafood (but can eat non "fishy" tasting fish, like halibut")? personally i surfed for many years, but started to dislike seafood due to swollwing gallons of sea water and the taste just started to blend into everything minus white fish like halibut and shrimp, lobster, cod ect ect...? any reply is awesome, subbed, and liked. i enjoy channels like this as it brings back my love for the ocean, but i really wish i could eat more from the bounty the ocean provides (its delicious in my mind, but the sea water salty taste kills me, but im still trying to figure out why my tastebuds betray me.)....p.s i love fishing, and cooking what you take, same as hunting..but i feel like i am missing out completely on sea foods....
