Thank you all so much for watching!! Btw incase you missed this video with a little more Tarpon catching. Here is the link ruclips.net/video/EjUsVN1Xb5s/видео.htmlsi=8TLd95UQhfP2Kp0b Tight Lines, Rich
Made my rainy Sunday! Great fish, and the blue braid story is incredible, seeing how it was documented by both parties involved! Has to be close to the ultimate of fish stories! 😉Thanks again brother! ♥
Man them Tarpon got the best of ya that I've seen but ya didn't miss em from a lack of tryin that's fer sure!!! Always great content n just catchin them big Jacks you catch would suit me fine!!
Yeah those dang Tarpon gave me the slip. I swear some days I go out. Use two baits and hook and land the first two then can’t catch another single one. I get the bites and they just come off. They are tough. But that is what I love. The challenge!
Man that is my kind of video. When you're on the tripple tails you can pursue them all day and I will never complain because they're such a unique fish. This video was great in so many ways. Almost like going on a mysterious fishing adventure. Thanks!!😎
Great video, lots of fun fishing. Love the big jacks. Tarpon fishing at its best. The thrill of the bite , the hook set and the jump. The agony of having your bait thrown…. Always fun no matter what happens. Thanks for bringing us along on your adventures, Cheers
Another fantastic video, who would have thought that you would know the person that lost the fish and braid, simply incredible. Yes, I can imagine it is a bit hard catching tarpon from a kayak, it is not that much easier from a boat. Some nice fish on top of all that as well. Thanks for sharing, always look forward to your videos.
Yeah I have to make some catch and cooks. If you missed this one I catch a grouper and cook it up at home ruclips.net/video/IEy6kELDYvo/видео.htmlsi=0jGWuYBsyx1tAHFD
@@FishAholicTV so easy for me to say from the sidelines! I totally get it. Just don’t want to see you get degloved… and no not removing your glove haha Would have been so cool to see what was on the end of that!
Go Aaron! ❤ "Dagmar" (sailboat 21:35) was a 50's actress with big...uh, you know. Anyways, Cadillac honored her image with "Bullet bumpers" little conical tips in front. ISYN
Great video, as always! If you haven't tried, I've had great success snelling octopus-style circle hooks for tarpon. For whatever reason, it REALLY works well for tarpon in particular.
Exactly what I’ve switched to as well! My hook up rate increased by so much. It is a hit or miss if they drop the bait within the first couple seconds though 🤣🤣
If that were california I would be certain it was a bat ray do yall have big rays out there. They spool us all the ti.e out there. Similar story I was spooled by one then hooked my own line from before in the same day and hand lined it to the dock I was fishing on
It's worth putting a float/leash on that boga grip bro, they are expensive and sink fast 😅 Awesome video shame that line snapped and you didnt get a good look at whatever it was, mental that it was your buddy's line though 😂
i was fishing from sandsprit and seen a blowup so i threw a live mullet at it and something like a freight train took off with it. and sandsprit is back open now. but yeah theres some big gurls around all thos docks in the area
What a crazy coincidence if that was the fish that Aaron lost. Looked exactly like the same braid but the crazy thing is it was 4 miles away. My question was it the same day or next day?? That’s crazy cool, only if we got to see what it was
it was the next or two days later I forgot. But it wasn’t the same day. So that fish easily could have swam up river by that time. I wish I saw it a least. Next time I’ll do better with the hand line haha
I lost a Mutton on the long key bridge it broke my 20lb braid and like 15 minutes later it had Tied itself to my heavy rod Line so I still ended up with my first keeper Mutton that day. yet 4 days later and you ended up knowing the angler who lost the fish is pretty cool
Hello brother! Kinda embarrassed to ask as i am a new angler. What is the leader line? Is it the line you attach to the braided line for the lures and hooks? 😅
Bridle bridle bridle those big baits and never get a fouled hook, way higher hookup % good action man, Tarpon are super tough in a boat but a kayak is next level hard , I think if you catch 20% of Tarpon bites you are killing it
Just an observation, I think the problem might be the circle hook. If you had to put either a circle hook or a J hook in your mouth and somebody yank the line which one would you really choose?
Set the hook sideways, Not 🚫 head on,if possible!! 😆 And if your rod is to lite or soft, you're not going to get a good 👍 hook set!! The key is Penetration!! lol 😂😆
I am no tarpon expert but I feel like you wait to long sometimes to come tight on then. They have huge mouths and usually will take the entire bait when they get it. Idk could be wrong.
Yeah but they also just take the bait off the hook if you don’t wait long enough. They are a very challenging fish to hook and catch. Sometimes I go out and my first two baits get hit and I hook and land the tarpon then lose every other fish after. That is Tarpon fishing for you. If you have time watch this video with some better Tarpon success ruclips.net/video/EjUsVN1Xb5s/видео.htmlsi=8TLd95UQhfP2Kp0b
@@FishAholicTV I agree with you I have fished for them. Super tricky. Like I said no expert just sometimes those long waits that come up empty make me think. Tight lines sir keep it up!
Yeah probably that’s why they throw it quickly but I don’t drop lighter than 40 for these Tarpon. Because at any moment a 100 pounder could jump on. Watch this video. With better Tarpon catching with 60lb leader ruclips.net/video/EjUsVN1Xb5s/видео.htmlsi=8TLd95UQhfP2Kp0b
Why are you fishing with a baitrunner in with the bail open? The whole advantage of a baitrunner is to be able to freeline a bait with the bail closed and simply turn the handle when you want to engage the drag. Baitrunners are not great reels. Their drags aren't the smoothest and they don't have the strongest drive train. If you're going to fish a spinner with the bail open, use a better spinning reel. Also, stop trying to set circle hooks. It doesn't work. This video could be used as exhibit A to make that case. Your hook up ratio would improve if you had less line out. You're in a kayak, you shouldn't need to get your bait too far from the boat to get a bite.
Sry, I'm the LAST person to critisize anyone else for grammer.....BUT, there is no such word as "Mullets", Like deer, or Shrimp, the proper term is Mullet, whether you are referring to one, or many. The plural of Mullet is Mullet!
Cool thanks. But I’m sorry I guess who have never looked up the definition. If you look up the mullet definition on Google. It says plural noun “mullet” or “mullets”. check it out go for it.

Awesome! Really glad to hear!! It’ll definitely be a story to tell!! Tight Lines bro!!
What a beautiful shot of pre-dawn and electrical storm. Magical.
Yeah I thought it was really cool so I captured that!!!
Love the longer video. The longer the better, as far as I'm concerned. Gotta love those donkey jacks!

Thanks Rich for showing the Tripletail fishing - I enjoyed that. "Tarpon on! - Tarpon off! - priceless but so true.

Thanks so much!!! Glad you enjoyed!!
Such a mind blowing video!! 😲👏🏻 Richard, you're the best!
Thanks my love! You are too!! Love you!! ❤️
That Was Nuts Your Buddy Got Spooled & That Was One Huge Fish, Might Be The Line You Found.🤗
Yeah it was a really crazy occurrence. Thanks for watching!!!
Some old man in the sea action! Awesome video crazy when stuff like that happens
Some “Old man and the Sea” stuff right here! 😛
Haha yeah for sure. I wish I had a chance and saw that fish
Gotta get me one of those triple tails…. Definitely one of my faves down here in Florida! Nice catch and those leftovers looked delicious!🤤
Yeah tripletail is soo good. If I get a keeper I generally always throw it in the box. Thanks for watching!! Tight Lines!!
That footage was wild with the spool. Hit us with a cooking vid I know you got some good fish recipes

Oh yeah it was delicious!!! My favorite to eat!!
Tripple tail are the best, love to see you get on a bite on them inshore, that’s awsome!
Yeah they are really fun light tackle fish to catch!!!
Man, your techniques and execution are inspiring.
Haha thanks I work and fish hard!!
Ah freaking me out dude wrapping that braid around your hand haha. Always palms down and no wrapping when handlining
Yeah it was poorly executed. I underestimated the fish. I should have taken a couple deep breaths to calm down and slow down to make better decisions.

Awww really sorry to hear! I wish you a fast and speedy recovery!!!!

Wow that’s pretty cool! Sometimes there are cow nose rays in the river
That coincidence with the line was insane. Probably a giant jack I'm assuming great video
Yeah! I can’t believe it. That fish deserves never to be caught again haha.
Triple tail is my favorite, snapper is in second 💪🏽 great video
Yeah they both are in my top 5 favorite fish to eat. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed!!!
The lightning in the beginning shot was absolutely incredible.
Glad you liked that!!!

Haha yeah I have to do that. I’ll probably get a stretchy lanyard. I wish I at least got a glimpse of that fish.
Love your videos. Why do you fish your bait runner reel with a open bail?
Thanks so much!!! I do that because I’ve found the Tarpon to drop it sooner if they detect any kind of tension on the line.
Wow ..amazing video 👍
Great vid bud keep up good work
Thanks so much!!!!
i was fishing from sandsprit and seen a blowup so i threw a live mullet at it and something like a freight train took off with it. and sandsprit is back open now. but yeah theres some big gurls around all thos docks in the area
Awesome! Glad to hear they fixed up those docks!!
Big bites bro!
We always use a white jig head and white or green tail. Down under the lobster buoys all million of them

Another great video! I have always wondered what boat Rich uses does anyone know?
This is a Hobie outback kayak and I own a 24ft fishmaster boat.
I saw the @AbenzFishing video where he lost the fish, that's crazy. We're all left wondering what it was.
Ahhhh I wish I at least saw a glimpse of the fish.
Just an observation, I think the problem might be the circle hook. If you had to put either a circle hook or a J hook in your mouth and somebody yank the line which one would you really choose?

Bro that was my line had a big shark cut my line in the rock 😢 can’t believe you caught my line crazy part I was fishing the Stuart
Causeway
Would hooking the mullet in the tail work?
Not if I’m pulling the baits backwards.
who makes your gloves? I like them.
Bass Pro Shops. You can see them here bassproshops.vzck.net/R5D959
how is it possible you are on the water in the dark with no running lights?
Hi, what camera do you use?
GoPro hero 11 and 10. I believe the links for them are in the description
Great video as always but even with gloves never wrap your hands with braid when hand lining ❤
COUNT ME IN!
Jearmey wade would be proud
That was 100% a 1000lb sawfish. Indian River Monster
Very true could have been a sawfish, those things get massive.
@@Big_Bend_Benjiyes sucks he didn’t see it. If you catch them your suppose to report the catch to FWC obviously with the landing of the fish.
@@jasonsanders6930 yep they are highly protected
Haha that would have been really cool!!!
I’ve seen one before with live scope!!
Set the hook sideways, Not 🚫 head on,if possible!! 😆 And if your rod is to lite or soft, you're not going to get a good 👍 hook set!! The key is Penetration!! lol 😂😆
Rich what would it cost me to fish with you?
