TARPON Fishing at FLORIDA KEYS Bridges
ฝัง

- I head out tarpon fishing with my brother Capt. Rick Stanczyk and our friend Capt. Charles Hertel. We cast net a livewell full of mullet in the morning and then fish a couple different bridges trying to catch a tarpon. It takes a few hours but we finally get a few bites and both Rick and I catch and release tarpon!

Great job....floating the reel was pretty creative.
Thanks!
I thought I’ve seen it all but floating a rod thru the pilings is a first. What a great idea!
The penn slammer 3 is fully sealed by the way
A lot of surf fisherman up here in the northeast use them
VERY reliable reel
Love the StanzFam Family wait that sounded way different in my head lol great video sir love it....
Capt Charles has an awesome new boat in the works.
I'm from the keys, I've seen them and I tried to go tarpon fishing in one time I fell in the water trying to catch one lol they make this look easy 😂
Love it! You guys are true pros. 🤘
Awesome video, I had a tarpon on
in Islamorada, The size of the first one he jumped up about 5 feet in the air and spit my jerk bait Lure out. I was mad because no one will believe me but he was a big giant majestic creature.
Here in Tampico Mexico we catch 200 pound tarpons and it si pretty awesome.
Nice video 👌🏻
Nobody’s gunna call out the banana on the boat at 4:10?!?! Thats bad juju lol. 100% the reason the GoPro went over
A guy told me that one time when I went charter fishing and brought a banana, it's bad luck!
Monsters of the bridge. I'm there.
First time I’ve ever seen the floating the rod reel trick. Great stuff guys !
Yea that was smart! Loosened the drag too
Just subbed to your brother's fishing channel the other day. Stanczyk Fam in Full Effect. Great vids guys. Keep em coming.
Great video. I just got back from the keys. Fishing cudas and mahis. Where I come from, on the west coast, bananas are bad luck on a boat and are immediately thrown overboard. Lol.
Dude, floating the rod through the piling! Hahahahahahh that is great!
Awesome video, Captains Nick, Rick, and Charles!! Once upon a time, a long time ago, I lost a HUGE tarpon at that bridge. Bayside. My ex insisted over and over again, "You got the bridge". I said, "The bridge doesn't shake its head like that. Turn hard right." (away from the bridge and out into the Bay). He finally listened. The tarpon I had on was so big it could NOT jump. It shook its head three times, severed the wire leader, and was off. Good thing my ex was looking and saw it. I can only estimate it was 150+ lb judging by the size of its head... I have never seen a tarpon bigger than that (in person). I was totally impressed at your solution to getting the rod-reel through the piling. Pure genius and shows you guys listened to your Dad as you were growing up... Old school solution. Or did you guys come up with the solution on the fly? *props! I will share this vid to show the younger generation how to overcome what seems to be impossible. I will remember this too and hope to have to use it one day... Well done, Captains! Love both of your channels and hope to get back down there one day to fish.... Until then, tight lines and catch 'em up!! :)
Sounds like a big Tarpon!
@@StanzFam it was huge. I saw the whole thing: three times: swish, swish, swish, *PING, the wire leader was severed and it was gone. I will remember this forever, my biggest fish "on" to date. My husband and I are going to Costa Rica (Nosara) in early August for our honeymoon where I hope to fulfill my #1 bucket list item (since I was 15 years old): to catch and release my first blue marlin. BTW, Jim proposed to me on the roof at Bud N Mary's 2/15/19. :) We were married 8/10/19. We met you 8/12/19 and I took a bunch of pics of you and those gorgeous painted swordfish bills...
today i went deep dropping and caught 5 huge tile fish, 2 red grouper, 1 snowy grouper and 1 mahi
I'm jealous
Picked up a case of COVID so I’m just checking out Stanzfam videos and found a few I missed. I learn something new on almost every episode. A year late but better than never. Genius float trick. I just wonder how many monsters have been hooked and intentionally broken off in the pilings by fishermen who otherwise felt they were outsmarted by the tarpon. Probably just shaking their heads in disbelief and shock
Hang in there!
@@StanzFam Thank you. I will be fine.
Good job,very nice video.
Woooow awesome 😎
When I saw that tarpon go through the piling I was like oh well break him off. Then I heard “float it through” and I was like wait what??! I can barely afford a reel I swear I had a heart attack if he wrapped around like a snook does ur real would be gone.
I have never seen the float threw 🤙💂🏽♂️🎣👀👍
niceeee
I lived and fished Tarpon in the Naples area. Folks please note one really big thing they did right on the 1st fish. He never lifted the fish vertical, because if you do their guts change position, then when you let them go and they go horizontal the guts move again, all mixed up and the fish dies in 2-3 days. Very well done on the catch and release.
where do you fish for tarpon in Naples I live there and always wanted to catch one
@@4ktrey517 no flats Tarpon fishing in the Naples area. You have to go offshore and we usually went north a bit. Not too far offshore few miles at most. Caught a lot of 30 - 45-50 pounders. Take note: if you lift the fish up onto the boat you’ve basically killed it if you put back in the water. The tarpons internals is in water weightless, if you gaff it pull it in, it’s guts shift to the tail, you then lay it flat the guts slide toward the head, you lift vertically down put it back into the water repeat the process. Most die after 3 days at most. Better idea, is get it to the boat, take photos and use pliers to pull off a large scale. Release the fish. Date the scale, and you might be able to catch it again when it’s older.
@@rockybass9764 awesome, I will do what you say 😁
@@suk6806 when they jump out of the water they are basically weightless. It’s when they are tired and wore out next to the boat and you lift them vertically that parts move inside that kills them.
A salt water 🐊 crock? Wow I had no idea they were in the keys.I thought they were only found in places like Australia,New Zealand and South Africa
it’s an american crocodile but they live in brackish/saltwater so i could see how he got confused
Awesome! Hey Nick, are you and Ricky twins? Y’all’s voices sound so much alike. Cool.
Thanks for watching. No, he’s about 3 years older
Never take bananas on boats!
🔥
CROCODILE at Indian key land fill?,,Florida Keys Mike nice,,glad they control parking there now,,,
Finally someone proved the superstition wrong. I freakin love bananas!
🍌👊🏻🎣
Nice video! Banana s on boats in the northeast are bad luck lol
Actually awesome how y'all floated the rod, don't know if I would have done mine like that LOL especially after losing a GoPro. Awesome fishing with the boys
Also looked like you had a hit on that other rod at the end,but im sure all other poles where realed in...
Thanks!
Poor guy Sighs " My bad Brent. I Probably should have checked that". Had to laugh, because you can hardly hear it in the background @6:49, but he is really sorry about the gopro!
It Was An American Crocodile, Saltwater Crocodiles (Cocodrylus Porossus) Inhabit in Oceania and Parts of Asia.
👍🏻
👍 here KlkFishing
I think your brother beat you posting this video!! Still love watching your videos!!
Tarpon and snook are at the top of my bucket list for fish. Occasionally you will hear about people around the Gulf in Alabama catch them but I think they’re more lucky than anything else.
A banana on a boat??? Are you guys nuts? ;-)
A friend off mine do the same thing 8n the tunnels but after thad you have to open the real to clean the dalt with fresh water,grease ans oil 12:42
🙌🏻
Awesome with the way you controlled those sneaky fish and pull him away from the pilings. keep them coming Cheers
Stanczyk? That sounds like a name up here in Wisconsin. Are you a transplant from here by chance? I love watching the tarpon at the marina in Key West. Always dreamed of hooking into one.
My grandfather lived in Michigan
@@StanzFam cool. I was supposed to vacation in the Keys next week, sadly I am rescheduling for July and hoping the covid stuff clears up
Hope it clears up soon and everyone gets back down here 🎣🎣
Hi Nick I noticed you didnt have to travel far out to fish for tarpon, I notice at the marina you feeding scraps to them so why not just fish off the marina?
marina tarpon are like pets
Riyaadh Salie that would be considered cheating, and yeah dock tarpon are considered pets
@@sterlingfrederick8048 I thank you guys for the response I had no idea to be honest with you. I stay in South Africa where we fish off the marina so this is all new to me.
I was wondering the same thing. So now we both know they're considered pets. That's pretty cool
It isn’t considered sporting... anyone could put a carcass or cut bait on a hook and drop it in front of one it takes zero skill. High risk of injuring the fish on a boat or dock as well.
Great video, Nick. Awesome action. Sorry about the GoPro. I use a Floating handle when underwater. Nice job floating that rod and landing that tarpon.
Great job Captain Nick. Another great video.
Let the record show that you're beating all the other channels because you're putting out more videos more frequently. Thank you we really appreciate that....
I had done a lot of scuba diving in the keys, and there was "always" at least one 3 to 4 foot barracuda lurking around.
BANANAS ARE BAD LUCK
Who let the unlucky banana in the boat!?
Find Capt. Nick's video of the 754 lb swordfish, please. Note that he had a banana on the boat that day. Put it ON the fish, if my feeble mind remembers correctly. It is a myth. I am here to tell you that I had bananas on the boat EVERY single time I took the kids our fishing. NEVER skunked. Not ONCE. Bananas are an old wives' tale. #mythbusted Note how they hooked up right after the banana came out? Yup, myth.
What part of the keys did u guys fish around
Islamorada
I have to link up next time im at Whale Harbor visiting Capt Greg on the Takedown 🙌🏽
thats just fun,but the mullet you guys were catching are mighty good fried up,chezze grits an fries oh an millerlite..oh hell yeah..be safe fellas..
Tarpon are a true fishermans prize!
That's some Level 9000 fishing. Good thing Slammer 3s are IPX6 sealed. That's awesome!!!
Do a video with Kelley young
Wow keep the great video's coming StanzFam. Thanks & stay safe out there. I'm watching from Victorville, California
Boh ha te e ed te ww
Thank y'all so much for the new Video. I want to just go watch other people fish on Nick's Boat. Maybe get to run the camerra for him.
Hello 🙋
Tampon fish looks like my wife's sister's cousin Eddie's brother's wife's son Geoff. Geoff is about 15 now and has a mustache that curl's up to his nose that makes him look like a catfish. So Geoff looks more like a catfish thank a tampon fish but it's close enough.
I had a good time learning how to fish the salt water 💦 in Florida and catching shark's 🦈😂. It's a lot of good fisherman there 👍✌️. Z 🐟🎣
Great footage and only lost 1 GoPro, I feel you are well ahead for the day. Congrats...Mahalo and Aloha from the Big Isle "🤙"
Hi Nick, which Carnage model is that paired with the Slammer? Thanks
40-80 lb
Thank you StanzFam! Keep the videos coming!
Three guys in the same boat all talk in to cameras!
What is the difference between saltwater crocodile and aligater.
Where they live. Fresh water for alligator.. brackish or salt for the croc. Also, look at the snout: long and slender for the croc, broad for the gator. #nativeFloridianhere
What braid and leader are y'all using. Hopefully I'm going to be down in the Keys in June fingers crossed.
50 lb braid and 80 fluoro
@@StanzFam thank you tight lines
Penn slammer three is a very sealed reel u could fish it underwater if u wanted too
Another great video
Are you able to keep and what’s the size and amount?
About 10 years ago I we were fishing a lump about 25 miles off of Virginia Beach. We hooked up to a good sized yellowfin, 60-75lbs, when the fish went between two other boats and wrapped the line around the rudder of the boat. The Captain of the boat, Sniper, grabbed a mask, jumped in and unwrapped the line. Miraculously the fish stayed hooked and we landed it. Floating the rod through the pilings reminded me of that.
That’s awesome!
Amazing video and that floating rod/reel trick was really a smart idea 💡
Nice It has bean a long time seance I have gotten a tarpon.
tarpon are great and powerful fish nice watching you guys catch a few
its actually called a American crocodile not a saltwater croc.
What was the gear you were fishing with?
You may have made me change my mind about where to celebrate my 40th Bday next April, Islamorada looks more my style over Vegas. Tarpon is also on my fishing bucket list.
Hope you make it down here 🎣🎣🎣
Ive heard of bowing to a tarpon but thats a little nuts
Stanczyk? That sounds like a name up here in Wisconsin. Are you a transplant from here by chance? I love watching the tarpon at the marina in Key West. Always dreamed of hooking into one.
How could 24 people not like this video?
Are them tarpon any good to eat
Freddy David got a big sword at night when it dumped a 80 wide and hooked a 130 to the reel and threw over board and caught it. We tried it in 8 to 10 foot seas in a 35 contender express with outboards and lost the rod and another thousand feet of line. With only two people onboard probably wasn't the smartest idea but... after hours of fighting the seas and the fish we went for it. Frick and Frack fishing Freddy is probably still laughing in his dreams after hearing the story. I think Hammer also is laughing in his dreams.
Do you get the hammer emails of his crazy adventures. What a story teller! The africa one is the best!
Fred is the man for sure. Can’t blame you for trying, worth a shot. Story you remember the rest of your life 👊🏻👊🏻
@@StanzFam For sure. He's called the rock star or something like that. People fly him all over the world. Fished with him or next to him when no one new the night time swordfish were back. His garage was full of swordfish bills before everyone caught on. Fished with him in the bahamas a lot also.
That was EPIC!!! ( @ "float it thru " )
Floating rod trick was bad ass
classic Nick with the banana! 😂😂
Thank god for bananas!! Lol
Great job nick. 👍🏻🎣
Why tarpon? I dove in the Cayman Islands and tarpons were just for viewing
They are one of the most popular gamefish in the USA.,
Banana on a fishing boat? Not good. :-(
What type of boat do u guys have?
You should do a west coast charter fishing like fan meetup fishing day or something. We got plenty of charter boats to choose from
catch and cook tarpoon
What rod were you using
Keep the true meaning of fishing alive, and not just for sports because you caught a lot of fish that could have fed you and your family and the community that need food to eat, and that's the reason why the old fisherman fish the waters 🌊 🎣🐟🎣. Z
why dont pull out that hook ?????
why did he bring a banna on the boat
Just saw Nick on Ifishtv cathin swords in Tazmania. WTF!! Not enough fish in the Keys??
Looks like some fantastic fishing. Subbed
all that work and you dont even get the fish in the boat? shame on you
It’s illegal to pull the tarpon in the boat
Nobody would have believed that if it wouldn't have been on tape, you floating the rod under the piling Epic Man👏👏👏👏👏
Eat the Barracuda too !
No effing way you just put your rod in a life jacket and said good luck 🤣🤣 absolute madman
You left the hook in the tarpoon isn't that a death sentence?
Ideally we would get hooks out of all fish we release but it doesn’t always happen. The hooks will rust out of a lot of fish after a while. We catch some fish with hooks still in them. A hook with a long piece of line can be bad as it can agitate the fish when hitting the tail and make him expend all his energy. If you can get it out it’s best, but fishing lighter leader a lot of the time the line breaks at the knot on the hook
