  • @Striperbass2

    Awesome! Love the open bail fishing technique...a Mexican guide showed me that many years ago when I chartered a boat out of Cabo w/ my son. We were fishing with sardines...he said...keep the bail open, hold the line over your finger...when something pulls it off, count a few seconds, then close the bail. Worked like a charm. Thank you!

    • @FishAholicTV
      @FishAholicTV  Год назад

      Yeah it’s a great way to let the fish take the bait without tension and then hit ‘em hard.

    Best muti-tasker I have ever seen. Dude somehow puts on gloves while fighting a 40+" Tarpon, AND THENNN Tarpon spits his dead pin fish and he nets it while fighting the tarpon to use as bait again! HAHAHA Keep killin it Rich

  • @MrTelsonman
    @MrTelsonman Год назад

    I’ve never seen tarpon take a dead bait. They must have been hungry hanging out in that cove after their annual run. Usually have to put a mullet or blue crab under a cork. Cool video
    When are you going to to a Sebastian Inlet video? Tons of big snook, reds, and jacks. Tons of sharks. Or go when the water is rough during a storm and watch the tarpon roll in the waves. I got spooled from a massive tarpon there while on the south jetty at night. Fishing a bucktail for snook when a tarpon picked it up.

    • @lorcanbyrne7539
      @lorcanbyrne7539 Год назад

      The reason these tarpon took the dead bait is because they sit at the marina all day waiting for scraps of fish to be thrown in after charters come back for the day. This is my best guess. I wouldn’t have any clue otherwise because I’m from ireland and there’s no fish half the size of a tarpon here but I stayed here in 2019 and watched them being fed from the dock all day long and fished off the rocks he fished at the start of the video. Caught a barracuda and was the biggest fish I’d ever caught. Hooked a tarpon but we weren’t equipped well enough with our target rods.

    all my life Ive wanted to catch a tarpon I met up with a friend who lives in lakeland florida we drove to naples florida and hooked up with a captain there he used mackeral as bait hooked into a Tarpon he said was around 125 pounds it was a dream come true I have never been so excited in my life! the bait somehow worked its way around the circle hook onto the line. as it got close to the boat the captain asked me to point the rod towards him so he could cut the bait off when I did that he accidently cut the line and my dream was gone in an instant!! Ive never been so excited and so horribly dissapointed at the same time my dream didnt come true! I guess thats life lol!

      Hey Robert, likewise! Nah not much. I just caught the bait there then that I eventually used to catch the fish in this video. Although, when I did catch the bait and it was still alive. Big Tarpon started blowing up and I rigged up a rod and started throwing a mullet out but I decided to give the rod to my dad and he had two big Tarpon bites and a shark bite. But he lost them all hahaha 🤣 he was bummed. But I helped him catch a little tarpon at another spot later on.
