Dude! It’s hard enough landing a big tarpon from a skiff with a guide - but solo from a kayak? Mad skills.

Sweet tarpon!! Appreciate you taking us along!! Thanks, Rich!!!

Nothing better than keys kayak fishing videos

The back to back Champ ! Kayak game is unmatched !

Next step... making your own paddletails. It's a blast! Great video.

Absolutely epic! The skill and patience to land that big tarpon (wind,current,structure) truly impressive.

What a catch! And single handed in a kayak!!

Love the amount of recent videos!

Great to see you got a new graph. It's about time!!!

Rich....you are the man!! Nice Tarpon on a Kayak!

Good show Rich! You da man. That first jump blew me away. Thanks for the ride!

Love the video!!! Glad you are always finding ways to make it into the keys! Those tarpons are massive fun fish, always wanted to catch one but they always escape at the last second! Great video!!!

Huge Tarpon & What A Fight She Put Up. Awesome Rich.🤗

Nice catch and underwater release!

Awesome man! You really make your viewers want to move down there. Me included

Huge fish, im jealous. Excellent video as usual!

Two epic tarpon battles in one video! Just doesn't get much better than that! 😉♥

Great video once again! Gotta love those silver kings.

Rich, you're a Beast brother! excellent footage, and I felt every one of those jumps and I hurt when you lost. thanks for taking the time to document your fishcapades for us!! tight lines bro!!!!

Man, I can't believe that guy didn't chafe off your leader. What a fight! Nice catch

Yeah she was a beaut and hopefully I can catch a bigger one!!

When I was younger, my mother thought my hemostats attached to my fishing gear were being used for something else when I was on the water. 30-40 years later I still don't thinks she's convinced.

Amazing catch! 🐟

that was awesome. Great job.

Great video, man those tarpon were big… They were doing to you whatever they wanted. So cool. More to come. Great adventure, thanks for bringing us along…… Cheers

Hey brother, sorry about your truck yesterday at sandpit, I was the guy with the small black truck, I wish there was more I could’ve done to save it. This is just a bump in the road brother, you handled yourself well in the situation. Keep on keepin on brother and continue making that great content for us, we enjoy and appreciate you Rich! Tight lines!

hell yeah, love these style videos.

Daiwa is the best reel manufacturer out there. Closely followed by Shimano.

Those were some fish! I can't even imagine catching a fish that big.

Very impressed! I've caught tarpon from the kayak and it is not easy!

Awesome videos man, keep it up

That was awesome Rich! Don’t worry about that second tarpon, it was super windy and the current was ripping good. 1 for 2 on a kayak under those conditions is pretty amazing in my opinion.

When you finally landed that fish I was happy for you dude! I know you cut a lot of that fight out of the video. Some dicey moments there! Good stuff bro!

Awesome video rich. That's the tarpon way

That's what iam talking about!! Silver King!! Great video bro!!!

Crushin it Rich....Tarpon takeoffs are awesome

Wonderful vid rich!

Can’t wait to watch it!

Epic vid Rich nice work!!

Great job

Hope you dont mind transplants coming from CO… cause ypur videos have single handedly convinced me to start selling all my mountain gear and am heading down to Melbourne in 1.5 yrs

What a monster

Nice fish bro

awesome!

Loved the video. You had a good battle with that tarpon.

Always top notch. Damn nice fish 👍 thanks again

Nice work man

Good one, Richie Rich!!

Rich is the best fishing youtuber without a doupt this men is a beast at what he does 🎉🎉🎉deft my fav..am here laying down with my baby son watching rich catch dinasour from a kayak 😂🤣 btw is 99 degrees in miami right now is very hot 🔥🥵

nice catch

Epic!

Your videoes are the best!!!!!

Nice! And your life jacket didn’t blow up this time lol

That was a kayak beast!

The mulligan + dr.juice (from SaltStrong) = deadly combo.

Great catch! Hey I might be wrong but I don't see the link fir the hooks u aid u was going to post...if I'm not mistaken

Hey Rich, great content

Tarpon bite was epic

sick day 🤙🏼

Nice Fish Rich ! Was she about 60" ????? Right on Brother

SquidTrex are nice but a pricey lure, seem to be worth it though

Really interested in the hook and mold you used to make the jig. I also make my own jigs a have a problem with hooks opening on larger striper. Any help with what you use would be appreciated.

amazing

I am enjoying the video you uploaded and thank you. If I could give you one piece of advice, it would definitely be helpful if you could post the specs of the equipment you're using on the right or left side of the screen.

What's the name of those Jig Heads...some good hooks. That Tarpon was magnificent.

I saw a comment that daiwa makes the best reels . I like pflueger products . They last a while.

The second tarpon is making me wandering what really happened. The leader looks like having a few inches frayed. Is that correct? If so it doesn’t make sense. It was a new leader. Do you believe that fighting too hard wouldn’t frail it?

@ 18:00 what was that stone you used to sharpen the hook?

Nice was that the biggest tarpon you ever caught

That was an awesome video Rich!!! I'd be high for a month after that

@@FishguyVR10 if you can take a trip to boca grande around may-late June. You’ll hook into nothing smaller than 100 pounds. Live crab / mullet / or threadfins guarantee you’ll catch em if you can get on a pod

Why is current important for getting more bites ?

❤

What brand is the kayak your using?

so the first tarpon you caught was your biggest then?

Your Mom and wife will be ready to get out and check out the area. You'll be ready for a nap when you get home.

What brand and model kayak are you in ?

When are you gunna go back up north ????

Rich, withe the success of your channel, you mean to tell me that you couldn’t reach out to hobie and ask for a discount on a new kayak? I mean you had that for sometime i’m sure you could use a new one like a 360 one and you could get sponsored by them. Seems like every-time you turn around your fixing something on it. Just saying

Rất tuyệt vời

What’s your best guess on size of that first Tarpon?

and its if you can get it to catch on your fingernail, not scratch.

Do you use a specific type of fishing pants?
