That's a Loop Knot, lots of videos on how to tie it but if you know how to tie a Bowline Knot its the same only instead of the rabbit going one time around the tree and back into the hole you go three times around the tree then back into the hole.
Lee: when did the new boat arrive? Did I miss an episode some how? Would love to get the details. I think you are enjoying it to the max. Stay safe, stay healthy, catch the big ones. God Bless!
Disclaimer: I'm the furthest thing from a Tarpon expert. With that being said, a really good guide down there showed me a technique that significantly increased the amount of tarpon I've bought to hand. When the fish settles down, do not pull straight up and down. Keep your rod horizontal to the water and pull the opposite way the fish is swimming. His logic was Tarpon are used to swimming up and down in the water column gulping air etc. Pulling to the side and putting the wood to them cuts down the fight time and gives you a better shot. great video! enjoy your time.
When I fish for tarpon the lightest I ever go is 60lb, usually I throw 80-130lb. When I’m pulling them from underneath the pier and I’m land based I use 200lb.
Maybe you said this on a different video and I missed it but didn't you buy that boat for fresh water fishing. If so how are you fishing in Salt water?
@@TodaysAngler Seems so ate the rate you are doing it but i guess u dont care since it's for youtube. Cant see any other reason why you dont use proper gear for the fish you are after....
@@TodaysAngler To be honest sir i dont really care if its 50 or 500, if you keep breaking gear off leaving hooks in several fish it's pretty obvious that it isn't enough isn't it?
The stradic was singing the song of its people!
Can you please make a TH-cam short showing how to tie that knot you used on the sub walker. Thanks for the fun video rom down south. Cheers from WI.

Love how Lee gets so excited! My heart is racing watching this.
Hey, you guys did great 👍. The ocean preds almost always leave us feeling helpless. Keep the great videos coming 🎣🎣.

Got the boat in March in time for April in Florida. Will have a video or two with boat lowdown and such.
Absolutely fantastic ! Thanks for the great video, so fun to watch ! Cheers

Very interesting. Thanks for the insight!
Good job Lee, tarpons a difficult fish. Keep on keepin on, you'll get one.
Great job! Always waiting for your videos!
Thanks
You have captured some great video of fish jumping, over the years.
It's too bad you didn't land the big one.
Ya got to bow to the king Brah

Holy smokes- would be tough to throw that little Rapala with anything more than 50 but I hear ya
awesome job lee patterning a foreign fish in short order on artificial baits too. id suggest 60-80lbs leader what a great video.
Yeah- that's what most of the live bait guys use. That little subwalk lure kinda dies with larger fluoro
AWESOME" HONEST EXCITEMENT!!!!
Whole another level!
Waiting for you to move down there....what kind of rods and reels are you using?
Nah- great place to visit...wouldn't wanna be there all year though
Where did you drop off the boat. What ramp ???
Bahia Honda State Park
Well how do you like your dvx so far? Sharp looking boat
Things a beast!!
@@TodaysAnglerI got the dvx22, it's great for big water musky
What knot did you tie that lure (sub walk) with
Rapala
Maybe you said this on a different video and I missed it but didn't you buy that boat for fresh water fishing. If so how are you fishing in Salt water?
I bought it mainly for freshwater fishing but I went to the Florida Keys for the month of April to chase Tarpon and Cudas.
How much does a trip cost?
For the month in the Keys average $200 per night lodging, food, boat fuel...
Try not twitching the lure so much. Just sweep it slowly. Tarpon like it slow and steady
Will have to try that too- they didn't want the twitch every day...
bro ain even land one
Because you land tarpon every time out...
Tie a better knot, that Rapala knot is very weak. Tie a 80 lb. snap on with a Fish-N-Fool knot and you would not loose those fish.
I have not had a rapala knot fail yet for what it's worth. We did have some line rubs on the boat and the bridges so...
Hmm you love to leave hooks in the fish dont you....
That's my goal🙄
@@TodaysAngler Seems so ate the rate you are doing it but i guess u dont care since it's for youtube. Cant see any other reason why you dont use proper gear for the fish you are after....
@@MrKveite1 lots of people use 50lb fluoro for a leader don't they?
@@TodaysAngler To be honest sir i dont really care if its 50 or 500, if you keep breaking gear off leaving hooks in several fish it's pretty obvious that it isn't enough isn't it?
@@TodaysAngler Just to mention it, i checked some other videoes claiming 100lb leader is a bit on the light side for Tarpon...
