This is the first tarpon that I caught while in CR……caught but didn’t land. I realized after this that my crew knew about as much as I did about tarpon fishing…..which was nothing. Lesson learned…..if you are anchored as we were you have to get the anchor up and get following that fish …. or have really heavy gear.

This video was taken just after I got down to CR. I should give some quick background…..When I got to Moyas camp with my little boat there was these 2 “kids” ……18 to 24 yrs old kids…… that were hanging around (one was Moyas son and his friend) and they had just had a wreck with their motor. So we put my motor on their boat and went to check the shrimp traps. We were up these small streams and I had a ball. Being as this was my first few weeks in the jungle I was still very careful (scared might be a better word) of the jungle creatures.  Sorry for the FBOMBS but they come out when I am stressed (scared).
