RIP Capt. Gary Thompson. You were one of a kind, and a truly impressive Everglades guide.

R.I.P. Gary Thompson. We lost a true Everglades Tarpon icon when we lost Gary a few months ago. What a great guy.

True that.

Addictive Fishing inspired me to start my KZread channel! Love these early episodes!

Holy crap, this fishing looks intense. Makes my typical fishing for trout look like sleep away camp.

This is fishing.

The first time I went fishing in the everglades was when I was 17 yeaRs old, in 2014 as a graduation gift from my dad. We fished with a man named Captain Gary, and tbh it was the most fun I've ever had fishing. I've fished up in Oregon. In the Umpqua, and tbh Chinook and steelhead salmon, tarpon and barracuda are my favorite fish to catch

What a beautiful kind of fish, awesome fighters.

Fantastico,pena que de cada dez fisgadas,nove escapam,grande batalha,parabens Blair.

I love this show! You rock Mogan Man!

Well what can I say, this is the Everglades, good place, superb conservatory condition and the best place for fish. Not even the virgin mangrove forest of Papua New Guinea can match the Everglades. Wonderful video guys. My sons just love it.

Spectacular fish 🎣

That looks like fun. Great fishing.

Heading to the Rio Parismina in Jan. That should be fun.

That was awesome

Frumos la Florida!!!

Absolutely awesome.

Alright, thanks for the quick and thorough answer I really appreciate it.

"Addictive Fishing" was the alpha male's fishing show.

thats one heck of a fish!

the little sound effect of the line coming off the spool cracks me up..I'd like to see you go back and make the same show today ; ) that would be sweet ! can y'all remember where those fin-nor reels were made back then ??

wow.so good!

Wow!!! Nice video I've completed watching your video it's very nice and interesting

Omg amazing

was awesome angling,nice!

I'm a fisherman from Ukraine and we do not have as many fish as you. My dream is to go fishing with you! With pleasure I watch your channel!

That was freakin’ sick! I wanna catch one of those monsters!

amazing video! intense.

I love fishing

@LSU014 Maverick Goldeneye . . . we have also used the D.O.A. BFL.

what you say sir?? "CAME ON BABY.. .JUST GIVE ME SOME MOREEE!!".. i like itt!!!

GREAT camera work. Also - pays to have an excellent Electric Motor.

Wow fantastic bro

Great video

Tarpon fishing is about as exciting as it get.

Awesome

Amazing fighting fish...high blood pressure results!

W O W!!

what a fishing place

plugs are hard plastic baits with treble hooks. With live bait on a J hook, you will need to set the hook. With a circle hook, you allow the fish to hook itself by just reeling when the fish takes the bait. Bowing to a tarpon when he jumps allows the line to go slack, so when the fish shakes it's head it won't break the line or throw the hook.

I am entertained.

wowo awesome fishing

you are my hero

simplemente impresionante

Imagine catching a fish that big . Ima have to get me one of those

Blair, I just told my store manager here at Striper Soup if I caught tarpon like that, I might never go striper fishing again. That was a great show.

Oh My God Look At The Tarpon!!! Finally figured out that tarpon may be smarter than snook due to this video...

AWESOME! I've fished them at Boca Grande what a blast! And you definatly have to "Bow to the King several times to get one in! Great stuff love your videos! I'm from Maine and I went out fishing for Reds and Snook onetime. And decided right then and there that's where I'm retiring! (At the age of 48)

ok BROTHA!!! lol

Sweet I subbed

goodtel

With all the casting sound effects this is like watching a fishing show/kung-fu movie hybrid.

I'm not a fan of gaffs for tarpon, but Gary is a true pro and knows how to take care of the fish. I would rather wear the fish our more and make it easier to handle them.

This is good fun,I would do this all day everyday even if they all getaway.

@risenflame Bow to the king, when they jump, point your rod at them to give some slack. If you are too tight when they jump, they will either break your line or throw your hook.

cá tráo nước ngọt của Việt Nam. Tôi chuyên săn cá này !

bow to the king - point your rod at them when they jump to minimize them throwing the hook. Use circle hooks.

Blair, On the golden Eye Maverick Lure,did I hear you say you AD a circle hook too the back treble hook? just slip the circle hook eye over the treble or ? '?

Hey what size circle hooks would you get for the size tarpon that I said I'll most likely be catching? Are mustad 7/0 and 8/0 too big?

It is so big fish

What are some good lures for night fishing for tarpon? I'm fishing the st lucie river for them? i have gotten acouple on a lipless crankbait

cool

Thats a nice little herring there dude:)

👍👍👍👏👏👏

im going down to the keys during the summer to catch tarpon. What would you recommend to use? As in line,bait,and reel?

Big tarpon good fishing but tarpon in my country very very small

There's nothing like catching tarpon with plugs, (spell correction wants me to catch tampons). You will miss tons of fish, but it's so much more fun than anything else, once you finally land one.

"you gotta put pressure on the fish so he can't keep the air in his LUNG" lol ^^ gills... fish have gills :D

good

R.I.P Capt Gary Thompson

I have to make this trip before I die. Period.

where is this? i live in miami, is this accessible through miami or the keys? and are you using a mono leader?

just used the standard lure out of the package.

@dchrbac51 You got that right brother!

thats what im talking about!

I love Florida fishing way to go! HOOKEM IN THE MOUTH!

If I threw my reel like that I would get one hell of a birds nest.

What's the best tactic when they start jumping as much as they do here? I've always struggled with what the best tact would be. I've read some articles, and try and imitate what I see here, but still seem to have trouble reacting....

What tackle were u using here?

Hey what line, reels and rods were u guys using

Never caught a Tarpon yet. But sure want to in the next month and a half. I've got DOA Terror Eyz, other DOA lures, and MirrorLure Plugs to. I went to the Thousand Island channel and docks in search for them and all I got was trout and reds there. They gotta be there at this time of year. Anybody know where else? Blair? Got this strong feeling their in the Thousand Island Channels and house docks.
