    I was in Key Largo last week and hooked my first tarpon on my last cast of the day on my first guided trip. I fought it for 10 minutes, got it to the boat 2x and it did one last run, jumped and I had a mental lapse and pulled like I would on a trout instead of giving it slack and lost it. I am still mad about it a week later.

      @FISHGEEK305 Год назад

      They just come off often, I would bet money you didn't cause it. They have a very bony mouth and areas that are not bone are flesh that tears easily so either the flesh tears or the hook is in bone and slack actually allows it to fall out. Caught a ton and have lost a ton and I tell my customers it just happens. Hate it when guides blame anglers for losing fish when they themselves have lost hundreds as all of us have

    • @FISHGEEK305
      @FISHGEEK305 Год назад

      And also let me remind you that once it was at the boat and the leader was visible it was a caught fish as pulling them out of the water is a nogo anyway so sounds to me like you definitely caught your fish

    Your just putting undo strain fishing for reds with ultralight tackle. Harder for the fish to recover. Go medium tackle, still a good fight and you can get the fish in quicker for a better release for the fish. Ultralight is for panfish and stocked trout.

    Weightless soft plastics like a fluke or shrimp helps alot on spooky fish, you have the right idea with that light braid as it allows easy casting but in the Keys those fish are tough and let's not even talk about those damn lower keys Permit in the crystal clear shallow water. What kayak is that with the pole anchor hole??? That is slick as hell and not something I have seen

    Why would anyone keep switching hands between casting and reeling with a spinning outfit ? I can understand if you have a casting reel/rod, as frequently "left-handed" reels are not available in all models of them. But switching to "left-handed" cranking is so easy with most spinning reels.
