Tarpon Fishing Boca Grande

[Andy8t1]

Great vid I've just returned from Los roques hooked a huge tarpon there had it on for 4 hours ran out of light and lost it under the boat it jumped 3 times estimated at 2metre long 70 kilo plus never felt power like it

[TheLureTour]

When are the best monthes to fish for tarpon?

[rohockeykickass]

why would u take samples? the fish is the most famous fighter and lived for over 100,000 million years these are the fish i practice with to fight big tuna i love it

[aubreyfarmer]

The fishing area is in a narrow pass easily accessible from a nearby public boat launch . On a calm day a bass boat is excellent. Stop and buy some live crabs. Get a big circle hook and make casts in front of the passing pods of Tarpon. 

[TheTexaggie2011]

Im 12 and I caught 5 75 pound tarpon yesterday at Port mansfield They put a hell of a fight

[linesiderfix]

Top 5 on my bucket list!!!

[chimbolax]

is tarpon the hardest fish to riel in?

[cameracam315rv]

@chimbolax one of them

[TheTexaggie2011]

@chimbolax no but one of the toughest, im 12 and a diehard fisherman I have caught tarpon and shark but both put up goood fights

[live2fish0107]

@chimbolax depends, sometimes a tuna can be harder than a tarpon

Why is there so much anger on these comments? Does anyone actually believe that they either know more about these fish than this professional charter, or believe that he will quit his trade because you are just being a pussy. Nice video man, makes me miss home, Charlotte county native. Deployed in the desert

[MrJohnnyrace]

My biggest concern for the fishs safety would be the arrival of Bull Sharks trying to take advantage of a stressed Tarpon.

[gatorsinger]

I HAVE NOT BEEN TARPON FISHING BUT AT THE GASPERILLA INN IN BOCA GRANDE WHERE I HAVE STAYED I HAVE SAT IN THE LOUNGE AT XMAS TIME AND THE BIG TABLES THERE HAVE LARGE TARPON SCALES UNDER GLASS! I THE INN IS AN OLD RESORT HOTEL ON THE ISLAND AND HAS A FUNKY BUT GORGEOUS "OLD FLORIDA" STYLE ATMOSPHERE THE DINING IS OUTSTANDING-- 5 STAR!! I WAS TOLD THAT BOCA HAS THE DEEPEST TARPON FISHING HOLES IN THE US.

[franvalverde2010]

uuoohhhhh yeah !!!

[ArneBrotzi]

because of id**** like u, this is a nearly extinct fish

[hornet579]

@ArneBrotzi Tarpon are plentiful everywhere, such as from the Gulf of Mexico all the way to Puerto Rico. Do you research next time.

[dopson21]

@ArneBrotzi tarpon are not even close to extinct bro. Next time do research before you go cussin like that.

[marvelboi1]

[lunkerdog33]

Nice shots bro!

[fredericrob]

love  this tarpon

[d251508e]

Thats just americans who cant look after fish and no they dont die within an hour unless u chucked it around your boat u muppet

[TheJJegou]

Lol I like fishing for the small tarpon

but i never keep them they taste like crap

and they die really fast

[swaggerjacker7]

glad u released them :)

[techprosystemspr]

@swaggerjacker7 thats not the best fish to eat anyways

[MiscymLibera]

nice movie, but what is that woman doing outside the kitchen?

[acezter]

lmao. i bet the other people on the other boat watching woulda been like. wtf o.O

[Actuallityy]

doesn't matter if fish are released, if they aren't released properly it will usually die within a week sometimes just an hour later

[haroldtampa]

We do our best to release them properly. We also take DNA samples and send them to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute.

[tavofernet]

@haroldtampa it´s hard to believe that you release them, why don´t you record that part...?

[makes00me00wonder]

@tavofernet lol, they are full of little bones, worst fish to eat. the only thing they would be good for is fertilizer buried in the garden.

[tavofernet1]

@makes00me00wonder sure, there is full of little bones... and the seas of all the world are full of fishes of all kind. come on.

[Sensfan613]

@Actuallityy bullshit

[ScreenHackProduction]

@Sensfan613 he's right. if the fish is to tired from the fight the stress can kill it or it can be attacked.

[ccdoido]

@Actuallityy ,

Wrong, Fish are being tagged allot, and being caught over and over again.

[mulcslo]

@Actuallityy actually fishes regenerate rlly fast! if u're not a bucher the fish will survive

[HomeMadeGunNut]

@Actuallityy So we'll just put them out there misery then instead.

[Hermanoo90]

it could been better if they took the fish up in to the boat

[kingofthehill618]

holy shit can that thing jump

[chrook]

I have caught these in Costa Rica. For someone who grew up fishing Lake Ontario, they were something else!

[liviustrong]

bravoo!

[magnonmac]

wooooow

[pasarea999]

awesome dude

nice fish

[jsg2891]

that first tarpon in the video, real nice work on bowing down when he jumped..i'd say that fish was a good 100-120 lbs..for me the hardest part of fighting the big tarpon (100 lbs and up) is remembering to do that when they jump, you have to time it, almost anticipate it..these things can dart all over the place at over 30 mph..i'm never worried about getting spooled, i keep about 400 yards of 30 lb test..thats light for a main line but there's alot of line capacity for him to run and tire out

[jsg2891]

but i got a few yards of 50 lb, a few yards of 100 lb, and about 8 ft of 200 lb test as leader, when they run straight out their tail smacks the leader and they can break you off like that, and numerous other ways as well..even their scales can cause line to have abraisions

[Guidog8]

Yeah that was real nice work your chode probably weighs 100-120 pounds your chode darts all over the place i would use a size 7 condom it gives you enough room to tire out

[jsg2891]

is that the size you use with your husband?

[Guidog8]

no its just ur that cool going on youtube when ur like what old enought to drink souldent you be in like school or did u just flunk

[jsg2891]

lets just say I wasn't old enough to drink..you're talking down on me as if i'm the loser who goes on youtube..how old are you buddy like 50? get a life..haven't you got better shit to do than run your mouth off to people half your age? trust me doushe bag, i may be quite a bit younger than you but i've caught more tarpon in my life than you've caught fish, TRUST ME

[Guidog8]

okay number one im 13 number two ur probably sitting on some couch like some fat ass 30 year old that is still a virgin and number 3 i couldent give a rats ass about how many fish you catch TRUST ME

[jsg2891]

no i'm not that old, but still old enough to get into your mothers panties and start a small fire..by the way, it looks like your 28 according to your profile, you're quite a bit older than i am buddy..i see you are a canuck as well..your stupid beady eye moose fucking, maple syrup drinking, hockey playing "youe toob" surfing ass hasn't even been within 1,000 miles of a tarpon let alone caught one..let me guess, you catch them while ice fishing in your igloo eh? go build a snowman eh, pussy boy.

[robdogg2020]

lol  looks like you powned that fucker ;)

[banoffee2001]

Met a guy recently who caught a tarpon off Gambia. About 8' - 9 ' long but said they were known for coming straight at the boat when hooked. The tarpon cleared the side of the boat,went through the wheelhouse and became lodged.Took out the steering and radio.They had to put up flares to get towed back in. Some fish !!!!

[zoeyluvsash]

theres usually 40 people in in the pass

[hi5098]

i fish the professional tarpon tournament series in boca grande and that is definiteley not the boca grande pass it is completley full of boats unless you are away from the pack

[pepo295]

nice nice !!!

[crazykiddk]

nice fish =] i hooked a tarpon ona light weight spinner lol never saw 150yrds of line say bye so fast =[

[squinn17]

i had that happen to me at the skyway pier in st pete last week. had a tarpon hit a jumbo shrimp as i was fishing for snapper. got spooled in like 30 seconds, there was nothing i could do.

[cryptidclubleader]

lol im goin fishin tommoeow add me as friend ill tell u wat i catch

[buckerking569]

[made4halo]

[dooks88]

Just another day with Capt. Phil Dugger. He puts you on the fish. Great video...looks like that was a fun day.

[matde100]

lol I thought the title said tampon

[animator995]

@matde100 yeah me too XD

[CaptivaAnglersMN]

Great Video...hopin to catch one that fights like this someday...my only one had been sick or something and hardly left the water :(

[YeahRight825]

live down in the fl keys... big tarpon like that are starting to migrate through here too this time of year (spring)... you know, you should have gotten the fly rod out that day, instead of those heavy spinning outfits... also, it's much more of a challenge trying to get them to hit on a fly instead of live blue crabs... but all in all, you gave a lot of people out there that never experienced fishing like this some really nice footage to look at... great video.

[skyegreene]

I fishing from a dock in Marathon, FL tonight with about 7 feet of line out with my spinner picking them off one by one. I was using some Storm Wildeye Jerkin' Minnow running my rod with the others minnows in the harbor. It was incredible! This was also in the first hour with no wind in two weeks down here. The fish were going wild. Seems they were pleased the wind had "laid down" as we say down here.

[YeahRight825]

heyy Skyegreene, that's awesome... have fun down there!

[feduncio007]

15 sec. amazing jump

[dh5freak]

It's not the same fish the hole video..

[spahnman]

i counted 32 jumps, was it one fish or them showing different fish because if thats one fish there aint any fish that fights harder

[Ipwnyou54]

some of them are replays

[isdakongsupot]

im suprised you didnt lose that fish by the way you reel em in. you must have lost a lot of fish in your time

\

[ale10060]

o brasil fatura 30 vezes menos com a pesca esportiva que os EUA. Se o Brasil tivesse metade da propaganda que tem la a coisa seria diferente

[guilhermeatc2]

onde e esse lugar ???

[fcaleader]

Nice. I fish at the tarpon roundup at St.petersburg fl and last year i caught a 153 pound tarpon. man that fish got me so tired and my back hurt for the rest of the day

[Xceldyne]

Damb those fish some balls.

[nigelsquirrell]

[HLCpromow]

[JRocker921]

[OutdoorChannel]

WOW! Incredible footage! That was some jumpin'!

[Duodenumfilms]

That's pretty cool, looks like a lovely place too. Those Tarpon look like a great fighting fish. Must get to Florida one day and have a go at that.

[sportzf777]

i hav a house in boca grande and i no i need crabs for the tarpon where can i find the crabs

[rcxtreme12]

wut type of gear did you use ?

i want a set up tht is good for around 50 lb tarpon and decent cudas

[csull4]

ive caught a tuna that big in mexico.

[LIFD2398]

Did you used bait or lure?Sorry, noob :(

[haroldtampa]

Small blue crabs.

[superfroman]

What did you do with the fish after catching it?

[haroldtampa]

Let them go.

[legendaryyaj]

What time of the year was this? Im making a trip to Tampa In May but our guide is telling us that making them bite is tough because they are spawning.

[swlrocks]

nice one! can u please tell me what bait did u use?

[haroldtampa]

All fish were caught on live blue crabs.

[ukmongoose]

Yabbadabbadooooooooooo!!

[Karl4733]

Magnifique poisson, c'est le rêve de tout pêcheur.

[haroldtampa]

Thanks

[Karl4733]

Magnifique poisson un rêve pour un pêcheur.

[Generaldirektorinfo]

super schöne Aufnahmen,Fische in dieser Größe gibt es auch in der Ostsee rund um Rügen (Germany) 1,30m Hecht

greats from Germany ...Insel Rügen

[IndyFishing]

Good job catching that one!

[wen290585401]

Big fish

[ssrider7]

STUPID WOMAN fishing dont give me a laugh

[maroma2]

no saben pesca son una mierda si padre y yo ya u hubiesemos sacado estados unidenses lentos

[warrockking11]

is that boca grand pass? or just boca

[Benj1105]

i think its the pass because ive been in pretty much that exact location i recognize the condos

[oatofield]

tarpon give a better fight than merlin halabut and tuna out toghter

[VilasOutdoors]

I want to try tarpon fishing.  Nice job. good video. Please subscribe to my channel.

[gsous15]

love tarpon fishing, big jumps, huge runs, light tackle, cant ask for more

[GiveUsTheBeat]

why the fuck did you guys and sexy lady release them?! wats wrong with you?

[jtr10411]

tarpon are mean little fukers arent they

[basspro95]

Relatively, a tarpon is just a big sardine, but is one of the most sought after game fish, for their size and agility, as shown.

[manic5]

omg jump!

[drain3d]

I hooked one fishing off the dock in the backyard in Marco Island, FLA and it was sick how much it jumped. it was smaller than that one tho.  i know they get much bigger as well.

[FloridaCharterGuide]

You got some great footage! Can't wait for Tarpon season 2009!

[germster]

Good day smirko,Tarpon is an well known fish that jump a lot during the fight, and yes i agree the line tightening part you had mentioned but not all kind of fishes you could make e fish jump like this. EG: snappers, groupers etc... all those down under fishes :x. btw nice video haroldtampa how i wish we had the size tarpon in sg

[smirko]

they are forcing them to jump by pulling the line so hard, looks spectaculaire but if they want to realize them its not a good method to catch fish.... you can force almost any fish race to jump like this :>

[bluesplaya2]

im goin down to naples in a couple of weeks and was considering making a trip up to boca grande for tarpon but since i heard the tarpon season ends in june and its late july i was wondering if it is worth it..or am i better off fishing somewhere else for something else?

[haroldtampa]

Tarpon will be there throughout the summer. They will just be in different areas. Are you getting a guide?

[zakhiel]

I thought that said 'Tampon Fishing'. WTF. XD

[Belle91711]

sweet action

[HonorableJ]

To Tibby: "poor fish, tries to jump many times just to escape" I hope you don't eat meat because pigs and cows go through a lot more than this. Just eat carrots and you might not hurt any animal.

[bonsaiboy123]

yup, sometimes pigs and cows are cut up while they are still alive, and most biologists cant agree if fish have that many nerves in their mouth, which means they may not feel that much pain.

[USnavy2K10]

my uncle found a bunch, all at least 95 lbs. He said it took him at least 15 minutes for each, and he couldnt move his shoulders and arms for the rest of the day. wish i was there

[Tibly]

poor fish, tries to jump many times just to escape

[mulletnetter01]

you wanna use crabs, threadfins, and white bait during the day and at night it maders if its a hill tide but you can use pin fish. phill dugger the captain in this vid is a freind we charter down in boca grand.

[jamesthefisher1]

nikoliaj1 he can eat it because it is ileagal

[nikollaj1]

i would eat it

[rcxtreme12]

im going to key largo on monday........

i want to catch tarpon from 20+ off my resort..and catch like 60- 100 pounders from a boat.......what tye of bait should i use?

[Foxyon1969]

Hi hope tarpon trip went well . I caught a 120lb tarpon in key west two weeks ago whilst on holiday. We used live pin fish best dusk and after dark. Took 35 minutes to win the fight.

Cheers Paul
