What a cool video. Two great fishing personalities getting together to not only hook up that tarpon like that but how they worked as a team to keep the bull away from they're catch so they could release it. Truly awesome thanks. Jose, still missing you bro!
Rob was one of Jose's best friends and hearing his touching words at Jose's memorial made me realize that it was important to show your true love of your friends. As he said, "sometimes a handshake just doesn't goddamn cut it". Hang in there Rob
2 of the Top Gun guides you could have on one boat. You know good things are going to happen. It's a great legacy Jose left, great to see Rob Fordyce as well
Spectacular!! I hope I get the opportunity to fish for tarpon with a fly rod once in my life,I've noticed that the rod is a G.Loomis Crosscurrent,and the reel a Tibor?I own a G.L. too,in # 9,with a Scierra XDP 7/9 reel,could I use that combination for tarpon,bones,GT and permit? I now use it for fishing big northern pike in my homecountry Belgium and in The Netherlands.Grtz!
Your reel will do fine except the largest of the tarpon. Just spool up with 40-60lb braid for backing. This will increase your capacity 20-30%. People get caught up too much in the hype of exspensive gear in flyfishing-myself included. Remember they used to catch these on bamboo and old salmon reels.
all it is , is the Rich showing off how they get to do things and enjoy life , while the hard working men and women struggle . And the people that watch this makes them Richer !!!
We all have different circumstances and our ability to change those circumstances are key. Don't be envious and rude about others enjoying experiences most cannot. I see this video as sharing an experience that many don't get the chance to part take in and that inspires most, including myself to get out there to make something of myself so I can enjoy these experiences. Set priorities and you'll acheive anything, its not like my accumulated twelve high end fishing combos including 3 top end fly rods out of thin air while others worked hard. These guys worked to be where they are so have some sense and enjoy the content that their sharing.
Jose and Spanish Fly were my favorite fishing show , Cool to see this . Thanks for the video
