So what's the big deal with tarpon anyway? Well, it's been said that, "for an angler, catching a tarpon is just about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on! The thrill of fighting a fish that is from double your body weight on light line is a natural rush (not to mention a legal one), that is hard to top. The challenge is what makes big game fishing so great and tarpon are the top of the list when it comes to accessible big game."
