Don't beat yourself up, your a fishing machine and have caught more fish than most, your knot didn't come undone, the tarpon untied it, now that's a fishing story to tell!
Man I've been a fisherman my entire life as long as I can remember.....but I am a crappie fisherman and this to me is still awesome to see every time.......I'm almost fifty and I have caught everything in fresh water at least put of the lakes in Texas and allot of specs and big reds at the coast.....but never have I ever had a chance to catch 1 of these beasts.....I have caught a 275 lb maco and a 180lb black tip shark off the Padre island coast..... awesome day sir
That’s gorgeous water you’re fishing…with incredible fish. Good to see you’re not taking it for granted! I’d love to mess around with a fly rod there for a bit
This guy has everything in line working for him. He knows what to do, where to go, how to prepare, but he just sucks at rigging. Love you still! I'm jealous.
I did the same thing with my net the other day. It was so bad I considered throwing it away, ugh...I feel your pain. Awesome video. Thanks for the idea of chumming with the stuck bait.
Love the channel.I had a thought while watching this, if you are chumming, all of the bait you are chumming with is sinking at a certain speed. When you have a weighted hook, your bait starts falling and acting much differently than your chum, and your bait can stick out like a sore thumb. This can be a good or bad thing depending on the scenario like if the big fish are deeper and you want to get the bait down to them before the little guys get it.However, if the seem to be hesitant, a quick switch to a smaller thin wire hook to be the ticket so that it doesn't affect the action or sink rate of you bait. I find this especially useful when chumming finicky snapper. Again love the content. Much love.
Love the channel. I like that you show the little things that drive all of us mad…line twisted around the tip of the rod…gear getting loose and in the way…etc. most channels just show a guy catching a fish, you take the ego out of it. This is a great channel to learn a ton about inshore fishing. As a side note I just punched a 5 pack of your Cuda Tubes.
I like that I immediately knew exactly where you were at the second this vid started. If u fish the Keys bridges enough you should know where that is too.
@@flatbrokeoutdoors8462 not like everyone that fishes out of the area already knows it. it’s a public boat ramp with crystal clear water u can see the bait all day long 😭
Wrong net size for those baits lol. Mirco or small tarpon are pretty guaranteed in key largo to Islamorada. Let’s have a one day fishing tournament( live streamed) for 1k or 2k a boat. 1st 🥇 takes the pot. You can pick the species the date and location also 🤷♂️. If you turn it down maybe 1 of your viewers wants to take your spot. No I’m not a guide in the keys. You can reach me at bobhewes21 or anthonyhewes21 on intragram. This is 💯.
When I use live bait I sacrifice one or two and I smash them up really good and I use their juices as hand lotion before I start fishing that seems to mask my scent and I catch a lot more fish when I remember to do that. It was really fun watching your video thanks I’m in Northwest Florida and fish for reds trout and flounder but we do have the occasional juvenile Tarpon that come up our way and they sure are fun to catch
Great video. I love fishing by the bridge here at Lake Norman NC. Not only bc there are great bass along the rocks....I like making all the commuters jealous of me while they're stuck in gridlock traffic on 77. Lol
Aliex, that was An Epic vid bro. Those juvenile Tarpon, and the big 100lb Tarpons get tired. Steve actually walks them, until they're fresh. Those sharks just wait. 🌊 🎣 🌴
By nice coincidence this showed up in my recommendations at the same time the latest tarpon prep video dropped, and I haven't seen this one before so yayyy
when you just get to many glass minnows in your net, pinch and shake first to get as many as you can then, set it outside for a day or two, then hang it up and pressure wash it with a hose and nozzle, they just wash out after about a day. then put about a cup of hair conditioner in a five gallon bucket mix well. let sit over night, take out in morning, wash out good and hang it to dry. this will make your net much easier to shake out unwanted bait next time.
Just a suggestion next time to try to grab the tarpon, because those hooks take a while to rust out. Awesome video, it’s fun to play with the tarpon because I’ve hooked so many.
Jesus christ, this guy should start a rock band called slip’dknot. If i had a day so frustrating fishing like this i think i’d call it quits. This guy has way better spirits losing fish than i would lol.
Just share my experience, Let the bait free swim, u dont have to add some weight to your hook. And snap your hook to part of the fish which make it can easy swim and still strong to swim
Don't beat yourself up, your a fishing machine and have caught more fish than most, your knot didn't come undone, the tarpon untied it, now that's a fishing story to tell!
Kinda irresponsible way to land the fish though imo. Them hooks don't actually rust out as fast as people say, if they do at all even.
@@scottyeomans2111 Agreed man
@@scottyeomans2111it’s a different hook a lot of people use it it’s not irresponsible
I’m so glad you got your bucket back! I feel sad when something so small and priceless is actually the opposite to us.
💀 he just cared because it’s where he has to place the bait
@@stomperstripes4654 Dog, he had a bucket in the back, too. 19:45

Catching a tarpon on fly is something else
Thanks for getting your bucket back. Protect the ocean! And don’t waste-love it!

If you just shake the net for a few minutes 90% of them will fall out
@@Jacob-ry3lu Right, but it's that additional 10% that's the biggest pain to remove.
@@RadReelingFishing For the remaining ones I just pinch off their heads instead of trying to pull them through, and then they will fall right out
So much fun watching the fishing spot fill up with Tarpon and eat the bait. So epic man. Great work, keep it up sir!!!
One of my all time favorite TH-cam fishing channels !!!! Keep up the good work much love from San Diego 🤙

7 mile?

I find most of the bait under the bridge and I’ll cast my net from the walkway

U can say that again!
The three stooges all combined in one bumbling dude trying to fish.
I said the same thing 💀 🤣
😂
Let’s see your video of you bringing in tarpon using sent and landing them…it’s ok I’ll wait
@@gazmo6070 scent my man scent.
Go trump
Maximum respect for keeping all the content in, great vid
I award you the best charismatic stylish tarpon king 2021
You're my new favorite channel. Great fishing fun!
You are absolutely the nicest fisherman on TH-cam you're loving the dream
That is a really good spot. The guy knew how to find the fish and set up that's for sure.
When everyone’s useing drones to locate the schools, they are easy to locate.

That typed of fishing looks soo fun. You’re lucky!
God, I wish we had water that clean here in SE Texas. So beautiful. Love snagging a Tarpon. We have very few big Tarps down here
Man get yourself some net Will ya!!! That was a nice fish for a photo taking mate...Nice Video!! Tight line buddy!!
Such a fun video, that tarpon that got loose was huge!
First day of fishing! 😜😝😆🤣😂🤤 Still sweet footage of the tarpon eat on the lure. 🤙
Aliex, that was An Epic vid bro. Those juvenile Tarpon, and the big 100lb Tarpons get tired. Steve actually walks them, until they're fresh. Those sharks just wait. 🌊 🎣 🌴
What happened? Besides the reel issue you need some higher test line
Try using a plastic ladle to scrape the gill netted bait off the cast next. The heads break off easily.
Good video!
Best feeling in the world is throwing a net like that and seeing chaotic shimmering happening inside of it😌
By nice coincidence this showed up in my recommendations at the same time the latest tarpon prep video dropped, and I haven't seen this one before so yayyy
the tarpon dropping that scale was straight out of a video game lol like for every couple tarpon you catch you get a collectible scale or something 😂
Lol you had quite the Christmas tree going with those tiny baits ,
Really cool,beautiful spot and lots of fish,you are very good at sowing Nets,greetings from a hobby from indonesia
That looks so much fun you should do guided trips I bet people would pay a lot to catch a tarpon and do what you do
when you just get to many glass minnows in your net, pinch and shake first to get as many as you can then, set it outside for a day or two, then hang it up and pressure wash it with a hose and nozzle, they just wash out after about a day. then put about a cup of hair conditioner in a five gallon bucket mix well. let sit over night, take out in morning, wash out good and hang it to dry. this will make your net much easier to shake out unwanted bait next time.
Great natural structure area to fish; looks to have nice fish feeding….
Gotta love the keys!
loved the video bruh. it felt like i was right there fishing... awesome
I like ur kayak set up 👍
Bimini twist. Definitely Marathon fishing.
I cast a lure with Carolina rig off today didn't open the bail. My first day too..... 😆
I think you need a stronger leader line or a better knot. I recommend the Palomar knot.
Great vid. Made my day you for sure earned a sub here. Love this man!
Just a suggestion next time to try to grab the tarpon, because those hooks take a while to rust out. Awesome video, it’s fun to play with the tarpon because I’ve hooked so many.
Just when I was thinking he was getting better at hook sets. Back to square one. That was a pretty nice tarpon. I really enjoyed this video! Thanks.
You don’t set circle hooks
What a noob
This dude living the inshore dream 🔥😍
Hey man nice...where is this place located??
Awesome video man !
Those craters were made during the filming of PT 109. No kidding. Look it up. Great fishing holes year a round.
Excellent video. Exciting!!
Good job my friend.. I like your fishing video..nice size tarpon...
One day I'm gonna get to tarpon fish. Very nice vid.
What a set up you have! Thats freaking awesome 👌
"up & there it goes...That's how you screw things up. Uuuugggghhh. Just shoot me" LMAO. The best have all done it. Nice vid keep it up.
1:50 did anyone else see the turtle under water on the right side of the screen around this time
Great video and beautiful place
What an incredible fishery!
What bridge is that? I’ve always wanted to catch a tarpon!
He said he was near 7 mile bridge so I'm thinking 7 mile bridge area?
At 18:50 he says 7 mile.
You did good for your first day!
Hahahaha
Mantap...mancing dilaut kesukaan saya..
Great video that water is beautiful😁
Great video and catches of fish tarpon are awesome and are they pretty hard to fight and do they have teeth
7 mile bridge

Nice spot brooo i like itt. 👍👍
You have a very good fishing spot bro. Good catch.
Man, awesome video! I think I know where I want to go on our next vacation!
Dude I'm totally jealous 😫 I'm going to try to catch one t his year on .my bucket list I really likevyour channel
Beautiful beach, great video, love it
wow😯😯nice fishing brother 🙏🙏🙏🎣‼️
Wow this spot is fantastic,

i love to fish tarpon on fly. what a rush. hi from denmark
Double uni knot brother that was a nice tarpon
Gotta be careful when setting on a tarpon leaving it for 1 sec more can make all the difference but still great video love the content
I am from malaysia 🇲🇾.. i like kayak fishing
A beautiful spot to fish. I can't imagine why people want to run a boat twenty or thirty miles out when you can catch fish like this, close to shore.
Wowww many fish. Is that sardine?
Great video love to see it 🔥
Hahahaha ya gotta hate those first days, maybe a good day to stay home, no luck today hahaha
That’s a sweet spot to fish yet I bet there’s some big snappers and groupers in those holes
is may a good time to be in the keys for fishing or is it too windy trying to plan a trip
Just share my experience,
Let the bait free swim, u dont have to add some weight to your hook.
And snap your hook to part of the fish which make it can easy swim and still strong to swim
Fast way to clean xmas tree majuahs is just hold up the net and run your dip net down across the heads. Cleans the whole net in a couple passes
Love your videos, thanks for sharing with us.
What a life 😀 gained a subscriber here 👍
Amazing footage 👏! That was an awesome day on the water. You have news friends here wishing you all the best! Tight lines!
Tarpons are some of the smartest fish
The water is transparan,i see that fish
Geeez I just came from the keys before the hurricane. Wish I would of came across this video.
Hey Steve.... ha.. good to see you messing up like the rest of us. You catching some nice fish.
Nice looks like I'll be getting a free fishing trip 🤔
Try to use top watter lure when you casting,,its more fun to catch a tarpoon 👍
My knot came undone 😂🤣 dang it I suck 😂🤣 that was funny 😅 I would of said the same thing 🤦🏻♂️😂
Banyak hasil om ikan di situ melimpah
How deep is that water? I need to try this one spot. I love salt and fresh water fishing. My dad would love it!
The bucket man 😭😂
