What really distinguishes Hollywood from other vids, guides, & fishermen is he's "coaching". Explaining everything he's doing and why with outstanding communication, genuine desire to educate, & confidence from years of knowkedge. I hope to have half his skills when teaching my 10yo daughter, & if not to learn patience enough to teach the grandchildren, lol.
Bro... thats how I grew up Tarpon fishing... Tampa Tarpon Tournament, Suncoast Tarpon Tournament, 60's and 70's, the the 90's... caught literally 100's of them what a magnificent animal... love to get with ya'll, and do some catchin'!

Great vid guys! Im getting ready for my 1st Tarpon hunt. You said a few times, "Get ready for the jump", can you please explain what exactly do you do on your end with the rod in anticipation for his jump?

@saltstrong Cut bait works in Islamorada because of all the fish used to being fed at Bud&Marys. I have yet to have luck in the CC/FMB area with cut bait. Would like to see what you do in SWFL/Lee Island Coast. Also, are you using offset circles or straight?

This guy is legit. Fishing dead on the bottom is the ticket midday. It's a secret not many know. The con is that you'll be catching everything else and deplete your bait supply so come loaded.
I tend to agree. I’m sure the guide gets people all the time who don’t have a clue and probably gets used to it. I know I can’t help but scream “reel!!! Reel!!!” Sometimes at my charters! 😂

Man this guy needs his own Channel!! Best catch and landing of a tarpon and strategy I have ever seen!!
Man, Hollywood needs his own channel. Or at least appear on this one more. He has good charisma.
totally agree
It's really clear instructions and so informative
💪💪

Now , THAT'S my kind of captain! I wasn't fishing and still learned a ton. Next time I go to the keys, I'll be looking you up.
Yes coming dwn to charter w Hollywood
This Captain knows his stuff 1000%. I learned something for when I go Tarpon fishing.
One of my favorites from the Salt Strong family . Hollywood ! I’m a fan of them all but Hollywood’s energy is the best .
Hollywood is a BADASS! Joe and Luke are some of the baddest dudes out there! If Hollywood is coaching one of them, you know he's REAL DEAL 💯💪🏼💯💪🏼💯

Have observed an extra interest on my part with this captain. Keep his involvement in videos it will ensure more views and therefore customers.👍
Noted!

Will this method work in the St. Augustine area? Tolamoto river area
Six thumbs down I think they just clicked on the wrong video maybe they were looking for a sewing channel or something cuz that was just awesome
Great catch!
Great video cap
Glad you enjoyed

Wow, great catch
I see some monster tarpon at the boat ramp swimming around the pilings. I'm going to try this today to see what I get.
Probably wrapped around the pilings 😂🤣
@@SouthFloridaFishingClub for real lol
Love these videos! Curious as to the rod? I see what I think is an 8000 series reel... maybe it was mentioned but I didnt catch it? Thanks.
I'm not sure of the exact model, but falcon rods or Star rods are great tarpon rods!
Fishing in Paradise @paradisecoastliving Great video. Thank you for protecting Florida fish and wildlife!
Skipper contact would like to charter with him. Thc. Thanks for a great vid
This guy is the best
On your knocker rig, do you use a swivel or tie the braid to the leader?
The article doesn't specify rod details. Just match it up for 30# main line and 2-3 oz lure weight?

Awesome. Did you guys catch the tarpon on the butterfly mullet? Or it was one of the live mullet. Beautiful video.
Butter
Great video.
How deep of water were you guys fishing in?
What rods were you using?? Thanks !
Man's hollering at the camera sheesh
That comes from daily hollering at yankee clients to turn the reel over and quit tightening the drag.
@@Hisslave1 for real!
Name of rods ?
We're arguing over where this is? Are you just inside and South of the small bridge by Bud N May's?
Insider Members get that info!
wonderful
He is talking to Luke like he is a client with very little experience. Just thought that was funny.
So tarpon are not edible..?
This guy is legit. Fishing dead on the bottom is the ticket midday. It's a secret not many know. The con is that you'll be catching everything else and deplete your bait supply so come loaded.
Thanks so much for your support!
I heard they're darn good eating.
Not sure
I'd be pissed if I paid for a charter and dude wouldn't STFU. I'd toss the rod in the water and swim back to shore
I'm totally with you. That video made me so happy that I use the tarpon guide I do.
Screaming bro! Ahhhhhhhh
Wow
I wish more fishermen boasted fish health. With that said, PLEASE be sure to care for these fish if they are not eaten.... thank you
Absolutely! We do everything we can to ensure a safe release so there is a higher likelihood of survival
Let that big boy go, alright! To my grill!!! 🤤
👍🏼👍🏼
Too many instructions.
I tend to agree. I’m sure the guide gets people all the time who don’t have a clue and probably gets used to it.

100 pounds? Come on
We’re you there? Your experience catching tarpon cowboy? SMH
@@RichM0410 you are right I think is about 200
