A Note from Alexander Gomez (@silverkinggomez):
“That day we were fishing for resident tarpon. We happened to hit the mother load on a super calm day. Literally the perfect tarpon day multiple eats and landed a couple.
I’m a third generation flyfishing guide. My father and grandfather were tarpon guides so when it comes to tarpon nothing really surprises me I have had many encounters where the tarpon eat right at the boat. Including times where the leader is in the guides so when the tarpon eats and takes off it takes the tip of rod due to knots in leader.
Tarpon are the most unpredictable gamefish in my opinion.”
