I've never tried to catch Tarpon but I have accidentally hooked into one..... Guess What.... it threw the HooK ! But for about 5 minutes it was as unique of a fish tale as can be told. They are like a Sailfish or others as they go airborne & throw their heads. That's what they are known for & that's where they ended my hookset.... threw it right there. Thanks man
Since I do not follow many Fisherman & I've never known any who fish for Tarpon, I don't know if they come in here in some migration or what? My experience has been that I started seeing Tarpon over towards Louisiana waters south in the New Orleans Mississippi Delta...... then over into Florida & up the Atlantic Coast into the Carolina's & I've fished all these waters thru my life, just not trying to catch Tarpon. The Art to catching any fish that can throw a hook is keeping the line taught & if they come up, pointing your rod DOWN fast! I get how hard that is w/ surf rods on the jetty, everything works against you. All I know to do is make sure your hooks are laser sharp and keeping the line tight but not so tight it breaks. You're a great angler so I know you know, I come here to learn from you. Thanks for reminding me of these fish & I'm not looking to follow their migration routes but if you wanted I'm sure there's a time here in Texas that they come each year? thanks for the video = exciting man! take care of those kids. peace
@diggy-d8w no. The silver king my friend. The Tarpon if you down lean forward in a bow, and extend your hand and rod out when it jumps. It will almost every time break the line
Keep doing you...Was that a Tarpon? If that was I know that was hell of a fight...And you would have landed it Bro!!! Platinum Achievement in the Texas murky waters...
Congratulations on the Tarpon hookup. Late in the year and cooler water. Hard to figure them out. I know you’ve done your homework but are you familiar with Capt Mike Williams’ (Tarpon Express) theories?
I lost a tarpon at Surfside jetty not to far from the start of the jetty to the beach side not channel, the water was super clear from when we had all the storms and I was using light tackle I threw a whole live finger mullet I caught with my net and amazingly the fish would jump out the water it was long and silver and a wide mouth it did about 3-4 jumps out the water and head shakes super vicious and in one of those broke me off I was super mad and did not get on that bite again this happened a few months ago!
We still rock with you BBF! We all learn together. No such thing as a master fisherman that knows everything about fishing. Great vid and catches bro
💯
Thanks bro! Appreciate the support!
Thank you for the videos and the knowledge that you share! Greatness doesn’t come without envy. Keep doing you and ignore the haters.
I appreciate that, I just wanna share my passion for fishing.

Those jumps are where everyone lose the fight. There's a science to fighting these guys. I don't think I've ever lost so many fish back to back lol.

Gotta learn to bow to the king
Are we talking about the King Mackerel since it's a fishing channel or the Lord God Almighty ? And I do only
bow down for one King. peace & GB
@diggy-d8w no. The silver king my friend. The Tarpon if you down lean forward in a bow, and extend your hand and rod out when it jumps. It will almost every time break the line
That was an amazing fight man! Keep it going! You’ll lad that fish next time!💪🏽🎣
Thanks man! Big plans already!

Outstanding man
Amazing!! Those Tarpon aren't a joke I surprised you got him that close great job!!

Like the heartbeat sound effects all of em good video, that was alot of work sir!and that water was so bad! Amazing you!
What an amazing trip, not much else comes close to those!
It doesn't man, now I don't want to fish for reds 😢
@ haha I hear that, felt the same after hooking and losing a jack right from the surf.
Kickass video bro! Next year is going to be amazing!!!!
Elite AF hook ups!
Congrats Dude! That Jack was BEAUUUUTIFUL.
Thanks! I appreciate it man!
Excellent!!! Merry Christmas
Appreciate that man, Merry Christmas to you too!
Keep doing you...Was that a Tarpon? If that was I know that was hell of a fight...And you would have landed it Bro!!! Platinum Achievement in the Texas murky waters...
Sliver king is a tarpon
Not tarpon thanks
@@CrazyAlbertoKnee it is a tarpon what are you talking about
I think it was a tampon
Don't feed the troll. All that dude is waste his time talking mess behind the safety of his phone screen
Happy fishing 🎣 Friday 👍🏼🎣✌🏼 have a great Christmas 🎄🎁 and a great new year I can't want what 2025 has in-store
Beautiful catch BBF good job bro 😄
I really love the rod Okuma cph
That drag was singing
Hell yeah, along with the line cutting through the wind.
Amazing catch 🔥🔥
Merry Christmas. Have you ever fished the South Mansfield Jetty? It can be great fishing in the late fall!
Always amazes me how the water conditions can change so fast.
It's crazy huh! It went for horrendous 30mph winds, rain, huge waves, and 40° weather, to no wind and green water.
saludos, muy buena pesca, disculpa estás pescando en aransas pass, o otro lugar, gracias
Great video bro! Haters gonna hate, it only means you are doing big things!
Congratulations on the Tarpon hookup. Late in the year and cooler water. Hard to figure them out. I know you’ve done your homework but are you familiar with Capt Mike Williams’ (Tarpon Express) theories?
I am familiar with whatever cryptic information he publishes on fb. We are fb friends, so he will post a few interesting tips here and there.
Saw you bow to the king in the beginning of the video and had to be late to work because im watching you learn (the skill)
What a workout for man and tackle. Most would be one and done!
What a perfect end to a Friday. New BB vid 🎉
💯⚡️
that drag was screaming 🗣️🗣️
Insane🔥
You got lots courage fishing the jetty that first day second day was nice
as a floridian who has caught a million of these from shore, your setup and rig is insanely sus but u fought that better then i would of thought.
@anthonychiappetta9225 what's sus about it?
lol should have put that Beowulf theme music with all those heavy waves at the begging haha
When you coming to Spi???
Crazy to think Freeport used to be the tarpon capital of the world until mankind put its hand in the pot…
@bowdenhooser2200 crazy huh. A few months ago I was at surfside jetty and I kid you not, I saw hundreds of juvenile tarpon roll.
For next time, in Texas, tarpons have a bag limits of 1. Minimum size is 85 inches, no max.
I know the regulations, thank you for the reminder though. I'll never keep a tarpon.
Neither would I, but I would get my lure back if I could.
You will always find haters that's part of life you just have to stay strong
10 toes down elite 🦍
This video gives off Florida vibes. Glad to see y’all merking em
Bow to the King...caught them to ~170lbs nearshore (boat) Bolivar, Galveston & Freeport.
We used some crazy doubled 7'-8' leaders and fly-away lead jigheads (like Coonpops) are a must.
Elite AF 🤙🏽
Let them keep hating while your numbers going up.Goofy Bozos . Bad ass vid bro . Tight lines much love from the H .
where can i go to try my hand at a silver king?
Florida
South corpus area
The easiest place I'd probably try florida. If not, then grand isle Louisiana. If you wanna try in texas, South Padre Island.
I like
Where was this at?
Texas, its in the videos description 😂
Welcome to the stress brotha tight lines!
May I know the rod n reel please?
Rod is the okuma pch 7'6 inshore. The reel is the okuma makaira 10,000
Yooo I’m basically the first not including these bots. This vid is gonna be great I know it 😊
Nobody gives reports because they’re jealous of you big bomber… fuck em your a one man fishing machine man👊🏻 tight lines brother.

Where this jetty at
I am confused , do you really think that a Jack Caravelle is the rarest fish to catch in Texas , really ?
@MrSymbolic7 did you not watch the first 10 minutes of the video?
Heres my report, bull reds in galveston bay rn. Big drum too
Them Texas boys only throw bait.. don’t ever try that out here get your line cut
What's so rare about a jack
@texassaltwaterlife4374 the tarpon are the rare ones, not the jack.
