  • They eat on Hogleg mullet too.

  • what lb test do you recommend capt

  • i love all you videos, especially the HD ones.

  • capt. i just watched the vid where you got the 500 lbs fish and damn i didnt knew tht fishing will be so exciting! nice vid hope to see more :D

  • what kind of bait are you guys using when u catch tarpon

  • Threds

  • @captchancey  what lb test do you recommend

  • try using catfish, cut the head off..i know it sounds crazy but it works unbelievable, the bigger, the better..put it on a 7/0 circle hook, hook it through the top..when the tarpon picks it up, let him eat it, do a 3 count, then point your rod at the fish and reel fast

  • Looks like a GIANT herring.... have any luck with softies on these puppies? We use hard and soft shell crabs out near Bridge City, Tx and do pretty good. Do you use macks and small herrings? Thanks

  • Yes we do Capt. They are great bait.

  • One ticked off Tarpon! That's hard to beat.

  • dam those fish are fast!!

  • whats going on with your mic , major problems only left ear and alot of static when you are trying to talk.

  • Capt Ben

    do you think you could make an instructional video on how you rig up and use for tarpon and how you can hook one so quickly. I fish boca grande every June but it always seems hard to catch tarpon later in the summer.

  • Tarpon are very finicky and I by no means have the answers. Sometimes we don't hook any.

  • i fish in a local marina, i see tarpon rolling in the evening but they won't touch any of my artificial lures, can anyone give me advice on how to fool the tarpon(i could only catch pinfish for bait)

  • They are tough. You just have to keep trying.

  • what bait do u recomend?

  • it might also be your action of the artificial when i was down in florida last year i had a couple hits from tarpon on top water lures try fishing them fast with big splashes that would probably excite the fish a lot more if not try to find yourself some live bait from the tackle store that sells bait tarpon will eat

  • oh man im a kid but i wish i could go fishing like that fishing is my passion but where i am we get bass i once caught a 14 inch large mouth it was the happiest day of my life but if i was thee ive always wanted to catch a tarpon

  • good stuff, thanks for the video

  • Que buen vídeo saludos desde España

  • It was this passed Tuesday. We were using Threds.

  • you should try to get a show on WFN i know it would be hard but i think you got the potential
