Not to brag or anything...(Tarpon video)
« on: June 28, 2011, 08:33:30 am »
PSYCH!  Hell yes I'm gonna brag.  Got an 80# Tarpon in Sarasota last Sunday.  Not directly NW-related...but the angler and the kayak are from the Northwest!

Megalops Mania! Kayak Fishing for Tarpon


Went out again Monday evening and got 2 spectacular strikes, but couldn't hook them.  According to my local friend Steve, probably only around 20% of Tarpon that strike are brought boatside...due to their powerful, theatrical, numerous headshakes.  So, I was incredibly lucky to land the first tarpon I hooked.  And man, was I whipped.  Still a little sore two days later. 

Demon Circle hooks!

Thanks!  I use final cut express.  Which I hate.  Mostly because I don't know what I'm doing.  The black border around the youtube vids shot with my playsport drives me nuts.  I've tried for hours and hours to figure out how to fill the whole youtube space, to no avail.  When I use my lumix, it's fine.
