Looking great! Been fun watching you settle in! And even more fun watching you get better and better at fly fishing. Get that line onto your reel ASAP- it will make your experience a lot more fun!
Nice video! Really cool seeing the Tarpon at the beginning. I feel better knowing I'm not the only one who gets lines tangled on kayak stuff and can't always get the yak to point the right direction. Shame you lost the fish, but it was a food fight!
Lol..Steve you crack me up. Best angler i watch. But I love your bloopers, and the sharks that love to bust your balls, when doing serious fishing. Be safe my friend..
Some help cutting down on frustration; put your fly on the keeper or eye before setting it down/ Use a stripping basket or a flat box like a soup can box to pay your line into/ always get the fish on the reel as soon as hooked and rely on the reel drag to avoid getting snapped off/ on spin rod- reel the lure right up to the tip (especially lighter lures) to keep in the ready position and greatly reduce tip wrap- hope that helps
I guess there are 2 kinds of fishermen? haha. I'm actually closer to him on this. It's a lot of stress but it's kinda like a hard video game. The challenge is part of the fun.
Great video! You should check out the Big Pine gator hole while you’re up that way. I don’t know if it’s still occupied but it was right down the road from where you are.
Steve that was hilarious sounds just like me some days Awe WTF....that statement usually helps untangle whatever ...LOL Hey I got my redfish shirt the other day with the decals and buffs I ordered,could not be happier great quality and the graphics are awesome ,and they came soo fast I was shocked great job ,Thanks.
If you can get a little closer to the spot, try to pick your line like if you were making Roll Casts, lifting the rod, not jerking the fly but a steady retrieve.
Enjoyable video, could of been me fishing like that !! I think you might benefit from a waist pouch to hold your line until you get em on the reel ! Thanks for the armchair fishing trip, I really enjoyed it !!!'
Dag Nabbit , Steve ! ..... Your Anger Management classes worked Well ...... Butt ! ....... You can't catch fish with a Dry Lure !! ...... It's time to break out your Secret Weapons ...... the Step Ladder and Crossbow ! :-D
I know your a grown man . Glad you are reframing from saying some of them words my 7 yr. old Granddaughter sits at the table to do homework . That`s the way my Fly Rod does catch everything else .
Throwing a fly from the yak always causes tangles at your feet. Maybe look into a stripping basket to help alleviate some of those issues. Thanks for the video!
Know the fractionation with the fly rod. A couple of things occurred to me while I was watching you and overcome the map hanging up in the boat and hanging up behind you. A fly line basket around your waist while you're standing up with keep the line organized than all over your motor in your equipment in the kayak. And then maybe you do something that I'm not aware of but get your fly line back on the real wouldn't you fight that fish from the real? Never caught a tarp and so I can honestly say I don't know what I'm talking about.
The first ten minutes were hard to watch, lol! I hate watch someone struggle so much! You need a better system for keeping your fly line untangled or eliminate a few things off the yak.
Love the channel but I dont understand your new obsession with trying to point out fish we cant see on the camera anyways. . . I have a 65" 1080 H.D. and can't see 99% of fish.
Been following you a while now. Nice honest open heartfelt stuff. I'm on Big Pine and fairly concerned about shallows and mangroves. Not sure how to message you so send me a note, lets connect and help you out now that in your new home up here which is my back yard. Keep it up, and forget the trolls.

Love that you hooked the vegetation behind you, because I do EVERY TIME when fly fishing. :)
Hahahahah.... watching you fart around with that fly rod was crackin me up dude.
Same here! Forget that mess, I'll stick with the spinning setup!
its line discipline! :)
By far your funniest video ever. Glad you were able to hook up. Keep 'em coming!
Lol..Steve you crack me up. Best angler i watch. But I love your bloopers, and the sharks that love to bust your balls, when doing serious fishing. Be safe my friend..
Such an amazing Channel !!!!!

With all of the "God dang it...what the heck ! Sigh*", It would seem that fishing is more anxiety for you than relaxation.

Glad I'm not the only one!
thank you for another great video!

Some days, things just happen. Been there and done that. Great information on how to locate and check spots.
If you can get a little closer to the spot, try to pick your line like if you were making Roll Casts, lifting the rod, not jerking the fly but a steady retrieve.
I think I use the same fly line. Catches itself,feet and trees beeeeUtifly.
Thanks Steve, I so enjoy your videos. That's why it's called fishing and not catching.
Always great videos brother. Tarpon are beautiful majestic beast.
Great job bro 👍🏾
Man I couldn’t stop laughing!
If you're worried about getting hung up on trees behind you, then use the roll cast.
Great video !

Steve look on the bright side, your fly rod keeps you anchored while trying to land one of those tarpons.
I know the anguish of tangles and hang ups. I was in the mangroves yesterday at J. D. McArthur State park.
Nice video Steve, but why don't you use your tie-rap carpet with your fly rod? keep up the good work!
Good stuff !
“Verified tarpon spot”
Tarpon: *Impossible*
I watch Steve for the screw ups and laughs. This was a good one.

Work on your roll cast for when you have brush or trees behind you.
Does anyone here know what fly rod, reel, and weight Steve is using? I must miss it? thanks in advance.
I'd take a hand saw and make myself a secret path into the middle.
Big trouble cutting mangroves down
I know your a grown man . Glad you are reframing from saying some of them words my 7 yr. old Granddaughter sits at the table to do homework . That`s the way my Fly Rod does catch everything else .
What weight fly rod do you use
Hey brother..been fishing they keys for a while now..any good spots with less current for snapper ?.
Watching before work, now I just wanna fish
Notice how fishing line finds everything
Use some of that on bloopers,that's my kind of luck.
Steve what didn’t you get caught up on LOL
Throwing a fly from the yak always causes tangles at your feet. Maybe look into a stripping basket to help alleviate some of those issues. Thanks for the video!
He used to have one
Me every time I go fly fishing starting at 4:26.
Cat’s curse...😿
once he's hooked, why don't you reel in your fly line slack? I'm just an amateur but watching you fight with that fly line is a little painful...
So if the tarpon jumps he is able to give it a lot more slack at a time, reducing the chance of it shaking the hook
Know the fractionation with the fly rod. A couple of things occurred to me while I was watching you and overcome the map hanging up in the boat and hanging up behind you.

tarpon are very powerful and like to run and jump
The first ten minutes were hard to watch, lol! I hate watch someone struggle so much! You need a better system for keeping your fly line untangled or eliminate a few things off the yak.
😂 well, i guess flyfishing from a kayak is hard af.
Why don’t you get them on the reel ASAP? You won’t get your line so hung up all the time.
I don’t know maybe less crap in the kayak or line minder
He didn’t buy that you were a tree 😜🤙🏼
I admit, I lol'd...
Well worth all the Dang it’s!,,,lol
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love the channel but I dont understand your new obsession with trying to point out fish we cant see on the camera anyways. . . I have a 65" 1080 H.D. and can't see 99% of fish.
He should just buy a damn boat.
Isn't fishing about relaxing and not getting angry? Just saying like your content just never understood the angery fisherman.
Maybe a stripping basket?

Frustrating.
Why don’t you quit with the fly fishing..... and just keep with the spinning
