This year, the trick was to get the tarpon up and revived
before a 15 foot hammerhead snatched him from you.

15 feet! Nice fish story.

But here's a better and true one about a real 15 footer. :-)

http://www.whopperstopper.net/readin...hammerhead.htm


"The shark was a great hammerhead.
****** It measured 15 feet, 6 inches and had a girth of 10 feet, 3 inches. It
weighed an incredible 1,475 pounds. The team from Miami also examined the catch
from head to tail. In the roof of the shark's mouth they counted 19 stingray
barbs, while in its bulging belly they found a 110-pound lemon shark. The lemon
shark was freshly eaten, sliced cleanly in half, and when added to the shark's
weight pushed the final tally to nearly 1,600 pounds-more than 600 pounds over
the current all-tackle world record."

Good information, thanks. I can run down to FMB in about 45 mins from
here but had not realized there were big Tarpon offshore there.

There's big tarpon all along this coast.

Of all the species that I have in my log book, I don't have a tarpon.

Come on down this summer. We can correct that. :-)

As it happens, I have some free time this summer.

I might take you up on that.

Later,

Tom

The only thing I really can't tell from your posts is if you were born
an asshole or worked very hard at becoming one.


Stick around, Glennon...you'll see that being an asshole requires very
little work at all for me.

Not a fish story. The shark is known locally by the name "Old Hitler"...but
most people consider him to be around 18 feet...not 15 feet.

This isn't some internet goofball bull****ting you. Magic Hook (aka--Capt.
Rick Featherstone) is one of the most respected guides in Southwest Florida.
He's been on George Poveromo's ESPN2 show, and has lectured at Poveromo's
Salt Water Series Seminars. He's also co-authored articles in several top
fishing magazines.

Absolutely. Contact Capt. Rick Featherstone (aka--Magic Hook charters). If
you're down here in late April or anytime in May, then catching a big Tarpon
is near 100% with Capt. Rick.

Tom,
You're welcome to contact me if you're heading down this way. I can't
guarantee a tarpon, but I'll at least put you in the ballgame. If you want
a sure thing, however, then get a guide. I know a great one if you're
interested:

I'd be willing to split the charter with you if you're interested.

Hmmmm. So, when I referred to you as a xenophobic asshole, and you raised
a fuss...you were disputing the xenophobic part?

I've never been an asshole to you. And I already told you that I'm a
xenophobe.

For $35, you can rent a skiff and an outboard from a little bait shop just
north of the St. Augustine bridge, chug two miles to the little airport
basin and in late June through August, catch tarpon nearly as long as your
skiff. At least you could when I lived there. You could also reliably
catch them near shore between Matanzas Inlet and St. Augustine Inlet. In
the airport inlet, the tarpon would romp and roll for hours. Most of us
left them alone...they were too beautiful to harass.

Puh-leeeze. They're fish. Use circle hooks and heavy gear so as not to
tire them too much, and they'll be fine. I've been in the midst of 20
boats chasing dozens of rolling tarpon, and then watched all 20 boats go
home without landing a single fish. Just because you saw them doesn't mean
you could have caught them them.

Oh, I've caught tarpon...but not in that particular "lagoon" I mentioned.
I didn't fish there...but I did use my calusa in it to catch shrimp and
pogies for bait.

I've never been there, but there's a place in the Keys called Robbie's where
the tarpon literally eat out of your hand right at the dock. Fishing there
would be a *huge* no-no.
