Everglades Tarpon

We hooked a tarpon almost every day we fished last week. But tarpon are tarpon and they tend to throw the hook more often then not. However, on the last day we hooked and landed Ryan's first tarpon. We also jumped off another huge tarpon well over 100 pounds. Pro Tip: Circle hooks greatly increase the odds of landing hooked tarpon for two reasons. One, the hook tends to hook the fish in the corner of the mouth and that protects the leader. Two, once hooked circle hooks tend not to shake loose.
