"THE BIG BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN"    

Tarpon Fishing at its best in beautiful Charlotte Harbor, FL!!    "The Extreme Tarpon Fishing" is what everyone flocks to the "Tarpon Capital of the World" to CATCH!!  The Rymsza's battled the "Master of Ariel Acrobatics Silver King" and tamed it on 30lb test within about 45mins!!  Guided by Capt Brian Hart.        "Way to Go"!!

 

                             

Al Copeland & his Son Matt experienced some "EXTREME" fishing in Boca Grande Pass while catching this 180 lb "Silver King" with Capt. Derrick Jacobsen.  Tarpon fishing is in full swing around Charlotte Harbor & area beaches with "Boca Pass" holding a major concentration of "POONS"!! 

 

                            

Another day of excellent "Tarpon Fishing" in beautiful Boca Grande Pass with Capt. Brian Hart of Florida Light Tackle Charters!  This awesome 160 lb brute Tarpon was not an easy battle, but perseverance is the key to sucess!!!!

 

       

"AWESOME CATCHING"   These Florida Light Tackle Clients went on a backcountry trip with Capt. Darryn McGowan and absolutely has a blast!!  They battled 15+ Snook, Redfish and a few other gamefish to complete a memorable day on the water

 

        

Tarpon, Tarpon & more Tarpon!!!   Another Magnificent Monster Poon caught while guided by Capt. Brian Hart in Boca Grande, FL

Backcountry Big Snook fishing with Capt. Scott Roe in beautiful Charlotte Harbor

 

 

                          

The weather might not have cooperated with these clients, but as you can see it didn't slow the fishing at all!!!  George Aylesworth and his friends weathered a little rain to have an excellent day of "CATCHING" Snook & Redfish with Capt. Brian Hart in beautiful Gasparilla sound!

 

           

"DAY 1"     This South West airline pilot, Hunter Cornell and his girlfriend Dawn spent two days Tarpon fishing in Boca Grande FL, guided by Capt. Derrick Jacobsen  On the first day he brought this 200+ lb "BIG BOY" in for a landing within 1 1/2 hrs with plenty of determination from Mr. Cornell!

 

       

"Day 2"     Check out the breath-taking photo taken at the start of day 2!!  Today started out with a quick hookup to a couple of lighter Tarpons, 100 & 135 lb, with one jumping off our line and the other just broke it!  Later we hooked up to another "Bad Ass Poon" close to the 195 lb mark that took the combined fighting effort of both pilots, Dawn & Hunter to land while guided by Capt. Derrick Jacobsen!!

 

       

"Day 1"    North Carolina folks, Jim & Gayle Myrick accompanied by long time friend Kramer (blue shirt) decided to take the backcountry challenge and battle some rod bending Snook, Redfish, Trout and a lost bluefish while fishing the beautiful grassflats of Gasparilla Sound, guided by Capt. Derrick Jacobsen

"Day 2"     The Myricks weent after the "Silver Kings" (Tarpon) and managed to hookup to several brutes and after a long battle they landed this awesome 170lb "POON" guided by Capt. Mike Witfoth  

 Repeat Clients, Jason Helman and his family had a blast fishing Boca Grande & "Catching" this 130lb Tarpon with Capt. Greg Devault

 

                    

Patrick Tubergan & his friend didn't exactly know what to expect after seeing Tarpon fishing on T.V.  Once they had a "Giant Poon" on their line it was all "Reality Fishing" from there, they landed three Tarpon ranging from 130lbs to over 200lbs with plenty of "Sweat Effort" involved!  guided by Capt. Derrick Jacobsen

 

       

The "Wild Boys",  Paul St. Hillaire & friends Mark & Shawn went on a "Extreme Fishing Adventure" with Capt. Derrick Jacobsen in search of the "Mighty Silver King"!  With multiple hookups and drag screaming excitement they managed to each land a Tarpon with the biggest estimated at 190lbs!!    "WOW" (Paul melted his thumb on the drag)

 

                                

Kirk Mullins & his friend Dallas traveled from Utah to tangle with one of Boca Grande's "Massive Sardines"!  They did just that by putting a Tarpon on deck after a lengthy 1hr 30min battle by Kirk Mullins!  Just look at the determination on Kirks face!!  "Way to Go, Kirk"

 

           

Chris & Jaclyn Koller traveled all the way from Island Park, NY to try their luck at "Catching & Landing a "Giant Silver King!  It definitely was their day and after a lengthy battle and some sore muscles Chris put this "Monster 180+ lb Poon" on the deck for a few nice pics then a speedy release so maybe I can catch this one again during a tournament!!  Guided by Capt. Derrick Jacobsen
