Many a man has been consumed by the tarpon. It is akin to drug addiction. But more expensive. No description, no photograph, prepares you for it. Watching a hundred-pound fish come out of two feet of water will get you hooked quicker than crack.

Good luck chasing The Silver King, Amigo.

@Bubbles I wonder if theres a golden tarpon version of our favorite panther juice.

Chased 'em in Charlotte Harbor many times. The craziest day was when the tax man came and wouldn't leave - the shark tax. Every hookup bull sharks bum rushed our lines. My buddy was reeling in one of those maybe 200-pound monster tarpon. A way bigger - maybe 8 foot - bull ate that sucker in two bites. It was wild.

You do learn to hate the tax man.
