I can honestly say, by far this the most beautiful footage of tarpon fishing. You guy managed to capture these animals in a incredible way. Great fishing and amazing footage.
Love your video and Hogy lures, they do attract fish! With lures such as soft eels, I have so many short hits, not Tarpon, but other toothy species, where they chop the eel in half, but miss the hook. Good for Hogy, bad for $$ me. My fix was to add a stealthy stinger hook. I attach a #5 wire (haywire twist) to the Hogy hook, feed the wire through the soft eel then attach a #4 or #6 treble hook near the back. Guess what, it works. I catch more fish on the stinger hook now than on the main hook ...
@miamiwax In general, avoiding high sticking the rod is good practice. Having the rod at a low angle to the side gives you better leverage to put pressure on the fish.
Mitch - Often the fish that you see rolling in the channels aren't in a feeding mode. It can be a common misconception that those fish are the best target. Instead, try fishing below the surface, as the actively feeding fish will be near the mid to bottom water column.
So targeting Tarpon you should at least have 40 lbs test braid line or more huh? And every video I've seen the fishermen or fisherwomen has there drag set loose. I'm assumin' if you have it tight they will break the line huh? So the drag needs to be set loose right? Are they on the east coast of Central Florida or west coast of Central Florida any? I want to fish the "Tarpon Game" just gotta find'em. Any tips would be great and love the video and great video.
Hi guys. Do you ship world wide? I am based in South Africa and recently started doing guided trips to Angola..plenty of big tarpon there to catch land based. I would love to try some of the Hogy baits there on the Tarpon and Jacks cravelles. Also some massive cubera snappers and threadfin.
Love it ! i miss that shit foe sho here im tuning the snow mobile waiting for good ice to drill some holes too cold for the boat not cold enough for ice bumbaclot
This was probably filmed in April or May, it's been a little while since we filmed it. It always seems to be windy in the Key's when we visit! It's also a great time for tarpon. Good Luck!

I love all the fishing videos on RUclips and I would like to thank all of them. I love fishing myself but fishing videos are for me in the winter
So sick, the way they make a run after the take is just insane, this is on my bucket-list!!
This is a great video that shows the essence (and frustration) of sight casting for tarpon.
The Hogy 10inch Original Series in Bone White was used to catch these tarpon.
as always great stuff! Love the new colors and sizes . Cobia LOVE these!
love it .. just like fishing for bass in all presentations but just on a bigger scale and profile and bigger results.....awsome guys!
Great vid, best time of year to fish them and best guide we can book, thinking about coming over from Oz
This is my dream fishing trip...
dude i went there for 3 days last week and I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO GO FISHING TARPON
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS
The drag was probably around 12lb - 14lb for tarpon fishing on the flats. When fishing near structure (bridges, docks, etc) you may use heavier drag.

possibly the best fishing video ive seen
Awesome stuff, these fish are incredible acrobatic freight trains!
LOVE the sound of screaming reels ..... Fish On
He was using a Shimano Stella 10000 @ 4:48
Hands down the best reel for Tarpon.
Great video, tarpon are just natural beasts! Line was rippin!
very very very good job , friends!
this is so great !!!!
hello from Brazilian anglers
The sound of a tarpon pulling braid at a high rate of speed is music to my ears!!
It's music to our ears as well!
Thanks for the nice background music. Most youtube fishing channels use what I call "jock rock."
that brings back memories of like 2 years ago
Can't go wrong with Hogy's. They work wonders on Striped Bass up north as well.

We filmed this fishing with Capt. Arron Snell of Key West. There are many great tarpon guides through out the Keys.
oh my gosh, that looks so fun. I need to get down there.
Great video demonstration of this amazing lure👌👊

Awsome vid. Just got 7in bone. Going for juvenile tarpone in the canals.
can you please tell me the name of this song. great video btw!
Def. My bucket list.
You guys have sweet videos. well done
You can blind cast, or listen for fish slapping on the surface, then cast in the general direction.
That run at 4:20 is all time

This technique works really well!
YEAH BABY! Listen to that drag scream! That’s what I’m talking about!

I like this product for light weight and strong. I use this fishing rod with Shimano Senona Reel. Satisfied.
That looks amazing!
@CookieQuake That's what she said?
Check out the tarpon section of our website. It's a great place to start.
Really nice video i enjoyed it, thankyou.
Something awesome.....at 1:38 nice slap from tarpon :)).Same question(like hrvoje laky)how much money??
@hogylures but i fished at night time to, they were crashing mullet for hours, do dont ate the hogy. Is it possible they are only eating at the flats?
I bought the Hogy Lures 7inch and i stayed in Marathon. There was a channel and tarpon were rolling everywhere, but they didnt ate it! what to do?
What are those beautiful cork handle rods your using ? I cant find any heavy spin rods with cork handles here in NZ for Kingfish.
The rod looks like a st.Croix tide master and the reel looks like a quantum boca
Keeping the rod low is especially important with species that like to jump and shake their heads, right?
Fish were out of Key West Harbor.
oh man i baught $77 of hogy lures and hooks, i cant wait to get them jaja, how long it usually takes to get to salt lake city
Love it ! i miss that shit foe sho here im tuning the snow mobile waiting for good ice to drill some holes too cold for the boat not cold enough for ice bumbaclot
that first fish was laying the smackdown on your rod and reel

damn, arms of steel! thats a lotta pullin cpt!
Nice Tarpon. Whats the name of the song?
I want a Stella too... My reel isn't strong enough for big fish like that
Is the skinny or the original the best for you ? @Hogy Lures
Awesome! What time of year is this? Looks windy.. Headed down last week of April. Is that a good time to find Tarpon action like this?
This was probably filmed in April or May, it's been a little while since
we filmed it. It always seems to be windy in the Key's when we visit!
It's also a great time for tarpon. Good Luck!
