Surf Fishing Florida, Big Whiting and Lost Tarpon!!

Surf Fishing Florida, My wife caught 2 big Whiting and we lost 2 Tarpon!! Both Tarpon got off after making 100 yard runs before the hook pulled. My wife caught 5 Whiting and the biggest ones were around 14 inches! The Bluefish were shredding up our cut Whiting baits all day before I finally caught one but missing both Tarpon was a major letdown. Thanks for Watching!!

We will make some adjustments to be more prepared for the Tarpon on our next trip. Have a great Memorial Day!

It is still amazing that tarpon will grab cut whiting

I think both Tarpon may have been in the 100lb range? Which might explain why they never started jumping, both fish were only 25 yards out when they picked up the baits!

I know you have one video with the tarpon catch and release, have you had any other hookups

[@koreanfishingwife8766]

Yes we hooked one with our 8’ Shimano Teramar and BG 5000 that I fought for 45 minutes! The hook popped out when I grabbed the leader right at the edge of the surf and we got the video on our channel.
