Hey FishAholic’s, I hope everyone enjoyed. Btw I noticed the scamming comments are back. I’m not doing a giveaway in this video and I will never ask for you to pay for anything. Please just flag those spam comments that try to get you to call or text them to claim your fake prize. Thanks so much and tight lines!
Dude! Finally got a chance to sit down and relive this day by watching the vid. Such an epic day, just unlucky at the end. We’ll get back out! Awesome stuff as usual 🙏🏻
Wow Rich that was an epic fight ,you guys really did a great job working that big girl ,an hour long battle somethings got to give .Thanks for sharing Tight lines
Without a doubt a bummer to see you loose it , but I have to say you handled it extremely well! No beeps required in the video :D I lost something big in the surf I was fighting for ~15 mins and I have to say I was not as calm as that ! Very educational to see how to fight a big fish together like that and I am sure you will learn from the experience ...keep it up , tight lines !
One of your best video's I have ever watched. The Florida Key's and the tarpon fish has a historic history. You should be proud that you now share history with Ernest Hemingway. The tarpon jumped 10 times out of water- shaking his head with mouth open to get the hook out. 1928-Key West,FL.
This is why I rock with you and consistently watch your stuff because you don't sugar coat anything and show us what happens sometimes when you fish. You show us the good and the bad. It was still a good and entertaining video to watch. Fuck the people that will have something negative to say.
@@YOAownageYOA oh yeah the 24 hour kayak fishing challenge haha. That was some brutal stuff to do but worth it. Thanks for following along after that! Tight Lines!
That heartbreak when the line came flying back...its so gut wrenching, especially when you fight for an hour. But even then, the fight is almost worth it. Tight lines, and you'll find her again
Amazing fish. I hooked up on a close to 200 pound tarpon fishing that wooden pier in Jensen using bunker there is some massive fist in that area this time of year
Glad you posted Rich. Great battle!! Youre not the first to lose one my friend. Hell imagine that same scenario in your yak. Holy Cow, hold on cowboy. Again, glad you posted Rich.
It’s all a learned experience. Nothing to be ashamed of. We all know sometimes the fish prevail. And like you said, it’s a good video for others to learn from too. Whether it’s about how much pressure to put on the fish, if you’ve got the right setup for a particular fish you might be targeting. A whole bunch of scenarios played out there!
So glad you posted this video. It was awesome to watch you fight that incredible fish. So much power in that tarpon & I hope to someday hook into one. 👍
That’s how most of the big tarpon fights I’ve had have gone! Don’t be ashamed man. They’re amazing fish. Awesome fight. Awesome work around the structure. Fun to watch. Keep it up
I'm glad you posted this video. We all know that the big one gets away. I fish a lot with ultralight tackle just to make it more challenging. Epic battle, I loved it.
Awesome, glad you enjoyed a little! Light tackle is fun! Just caught some nice Snook a 30” and 33” on some really tackle by a bridge. So that should be a cool video to come.
Wow! So reminiscent of an experience I had nearly 20 years ago off Key West with a Silver King! Last cast of the day I hooked into a giant, at least 70lb. After fighting the fish for over an hour we got it to the boat, head out of the water, and "snap" the shaft of the hook snapped. Just as well because I was really done by then and the fish was also exhausted, wouldn't have been good for either of us to get it out of the water onto the boat for release. What a great and memorable experience I had with my son that day! It was a magnificent fish, and yes, I had the bruises from the rod butt for a few weeks as trophies of that magnificent catch! 😁
Hey, don’t sweat it! Sometime you win, sometimes the fish wins, you had me on the end of my seat waiting for her to pop her head up to see how big she was. She was a monster. Great job. And you did it on light tackle.
Funny, after all those nice bass you caught back north I’m thinking “yeah, he’s not gonna wanna come back to FL” - and then I see THIS!!! WOO HOO!!! 😃😃😃
Great video Rich, I'm glad you posted it! I was almost as disappointed in the end as you... I don't think you did anything wrong, these things happen :) All the best mate
Great video and hook up. Might I suggest you look into the down and dirty method of tarpon fishing. It’s how we land really big tarpon on fly. They pull left, you pull right across their back and vice versa. It’s all about leverage and turning the fish towards you head first. You can potentially cut down the fight time tremendously with this technique which is better for you and the fish
Hey there’s no need to be ashamed of this result! I don’t really think most big tarpon are successfully landed - especially on light tackle like that. I’m glad you did go ahead & upload this. Like you said, we all live & learn. I learned a lot from this!
That was cool! I have been on 2 trips where someone hooked and landed a big Tarpon. Yeah 30 mins is just the start.This reminds me why I target juvenile Tarpon! Loved the video and Aaron impressed me. That guy knows stuff. He would already start doing what needs doing before you asked him to do anything. That guy has got skills that I do not have. I think he is a mind reader...or extreme competent fisher dude. Yeah, I enjoyed this and big kudos to Aaron.
Wow what a day. Big jack and a giant tarpon. I count that as a catch. Those fish are so difficult to land because the jump and can easily fray the line. Great video rich. Keep up the amazing content.
@@FishAholicTV yeah I wish. I’m moving to Europe because im doing my last year in middle school. So im not gonna get to do much fishing this year. My last fish was a 25 inch snook and a decent jack.
No shame in losing a big tarpon, they are notoriously hard to land. At least you got a great fight, and got a good look at it many times. Not just another fishing tale, video to prove it. Still hoping to catch my first tarpon at some point. I live in Canada, but visit South Florida every once in a while, my daughter lives there now. Tight lines and keep em coming!
The way you played that fish was super smart! Sometimes the odd are not in our favour. Gear wise you were under gunner so it’s all good. More tarpon videos please 😀
Hey Rich, don't beat yourself up cause in the end it is only fishing. I know we all live for that and keep coming back, but it was just a good, big fish. You fought it and you fought it well. Next time buddy!!
Hey Rich, I know it hurts but thanks for posting anyway. Luckily you did get her to the surface so we had a good look at her. Im from England and have been subscribed for months now and enjoy every vid posted. Im currently in Mali Lošinj Croatia where my wife is from and have been coming here for 25 years. Good fishing when the light starts to fade. Had a nice fish break off just like you as the rocks here are razor sharp, just have to keep going. Three rods out tonight and fingers crossed. Keep up the good work dude.
Hey Brendan, thanks so much for following along. That sounds like a cool place to fish! Hope you catch some fish or have already caught some fish. Because of the time difference haha. Tight Lines
The fact he’s fishing with Aaron means we could potentially see the ultimate fishing RUclips colab of fishaholic, Ryan morie and landshark. But one could only hope
Ouch! So close. Definitely one of the hardest things in fishing is getting your hands on a tarpon that size. Especially when your undergunned. Great fight though Rich!🍻🤙
Hey Mark, thanks for watching and yeah that’s all I wanted. But I’ll have to wait for the next one. Starting to plan it out where I could go to specifically target a big one close to home.
PRO TIP! when your bait is outrunning the target like that pop one eye out of the bait to cripple him. The bait will then swim in circles and get caught by the target much easier.
Bro first I want to say man that plane trip must of been crazy man!!! Yo that tarpon was a monster man and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time bro!!!!!! When it broke I screamed and yelled No! So loud that my grandparents came to ask what was wrong! LMAO! Man that video was so cool to watch even thought you lost the fish. So glad you are back in our great state FLA BEBE! Looking forward to more vids!!!
Man, that hurt my soul just watching that. I live in Michigan so I don't have fun saltwater fish, but I have a monster PB King I broke off on a few years ago and a nice 40"+ Muskie I lost last summer that will forever haunt me
Haha aww yeah mine too down to my core. But it’ll keep me coming back for more! Now I have to get another. Same for you hopefully it keep you getting out there for another.
@@FishAholicTV you should check out "The North Florida Angler" he's an older guy and only uploads getting monster bass, tarpon and what not. Could ask him for some spots for some monster tarpon, I'm sure he'd put you on a PB by a long shot
Stunning fight Rich!U said it ,chase him more at the End .Easy to said from my pov in this Situation .But you guys does it well !Best regards from Germany!
Hooked 9 off the pier this year only laid up 2 of them, it happens brother. The gill plates on them are razors, he just clipped the braid you still got the eat and jacked him up! Plenty more where that came from my dude ! Tightest of lines
Okay, I just thought I would tell you that I was very proud that you put that out even though you were bummed out. I'm bummed out pretty much on a regular basis when it comes to fishing, but every once in a while I get lucky, or God seems to pull me through. If you ever get a chance to look at it, check out the RUclipsr known as Bama Beach Bum. He had a video out there this week that was pretty surprising from what he put out that I was used to seeing him do. But I was extremely proud of him as well for lack of better words. It might help you, I know it helps me. Stay strong Rich! Come back full speed next time. God bless!
Hey Dana, thanks! Yeah I’ll have to check out his video. Supposed to head over to the gulf side of florida soon so maybe there’s something I can learn. Thanks for watching and commenting. Tight Lines!
@@FishAholicTV After giving some careful thought about replying it to this comment to mine, I thought maybe I should just clarify why I want you to check out that channel with his latest video. I'm not trying to throw anything in your face, but it had a little bit to do with his success and his spiritual life, I thought it was a great testimony for anyone to hear. He had over a thousand comments and I would say just from scrolling through most of them, that they were all positive. There were a few that sounded negative (but I think it was mostly because some people just don't understand, they weren't mean). I'm a believer myself and I struggle with my faith all the time, but that's how it goes pretty much in life, with everything! The more you put into something with great effort, the better the results. Just wanted to put that information out to you because I know you answer me most of the time I comment on your videos and I appreciate that. Can't wait to see another video soon, in fact I'm dying to see some videos that I subscribed to, but no one has anything new out! What gives? (I have stated in the past that I live up near Jacksonville / St Augustine, I don't know what's going on with the weather right now but it is extremely overcast. I wanted to wake up early to go fishing this morning at 4:00, but I was so tired from the day before, that I just kept hitting snooze. I know that if I don't get out there by at least 6:00, I don't get anything during these hot times) I missed the live broadcast the other day on Mr Poseidon, I was trying to watch that but it's making me wait for the video to start. Was it recorded? Anyway, I'll let you go here on this note and just say God bless as I usually do. Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend! (Sorry, I have been told on many occasions that I talk too much, LOL!)
Nice fight sux you lost it but no worry's all fishermen can relate to you. We all lost a nice fish or two in our lives and days we spent on the water it happens. Glad you posted it anyway was awesome to watch.
Dude-that was a nice fish and fight. Don't be bummed... go back and get another one. Epic fight! Me, I'd upgrade my braid line. Nothing like hooking something like this and losing it. Learn from it and upgrade the leader and line for those kinds of fish. I once hooked a king salmon on a 5 wgt fly rod. Fish broke my rod. I cried and collapsed on the bank. But I learned-I bought an 8 weight fly rod for that salmon fishing.

That's a true friend...he spent an hour watching you and driving the boat.
Haha yeah for sure! He was awesome! Thanks for watching!

It might help you, I know it helps me. Stay strong Rich! Come back full speed next time. God bless!
Hey Dana, thanks! Yeah I’ll have to check out his video. Supposed to head over to the gulf side of florida soon so maybe there’s something I can learn. Thanks for watching and commenting. Tight Lines!

After giving some careful thought about replying it to this comment to mine, I thought maybe I should just clarify why I want you to check out that channel with his latest video. I'm not trying to throw anything in your face, but it had a little bit to do with his success and his spiritual life, I thought it was a great testimony for anyone to hear. He had over a thousand comments and I would say just from scrolling through most of them, that they were all positive. There were a few that sounded negative (but I think it was mostly because some people just don't understand, they weren't mean). I'm a believer myself and I struggle with my faith all the time, but that's how it goes pretty much in life, with everything! The more you put into something with great effort, the better the results. Just wanted to put that information out to you because I know you answer me most of the time I comment on your videos and I appreciate that. Can't wait to see another video soon, in fact I'm dying to see some videos that I subscribed to, but no one has anything new out! What gives? (I have stated in the past that I live up near Jacksonville / St Augustine, I don't know what's going on with the weather right now but it is extremely overcast. I wanted to wake up early to go fishing this morning at 4:00, but I was so tired from the day before, that I just kept hitting snooze. I know that if I don't get out there by at least 6:00, I don't get anything during these hot times) I missed the live broadcast the other day on Mr Poseidon, I was trying to watch that but it's making me wait for the video to start. Was it recorded? Anyway, I'll let you go here on this note and just say God bless as I usually do. Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend! (Sorry, I have been told on many occasions that I talk too much, LOL!)

Heartbreaker man. Been there too. Still a great vid!
Dude-that was a nice fish and fight. Don't be bummed... go back and get another one. Epic fight! Me, I'd upgrade my braid line. Nothing like hooking something like this and losing it. Learn from it and upgrade the leader and line for those kinds of fish. I once hooked a king salmon on a 5 wgt fly rod. Fish broke my rod. I cried and collapsed on the bank. But I learned-I bought an 8 weight fly rod for that salmon fishing.
Hard fought heart breaker. Great video! ♥
