The Tarpon Express
Photo by Capt. Mike Williams
"With perhaps the exception of the big marlins, there are few thrills in fishing that can compare with the pure excitement, sheer beauty, and raw power of the Tarpon Express," Capt. Mike Williams.
Tarpon rolling "In Tight" to Capt. Scott Graham.
Scott Alford got these 3 incredible photographs of one fish.
Domingo Deleon landed this 5' tarpon from the beach in South Texas.
Brian Slingerland caught this 6'2" tarpon at Big Shell on North Padre Island.
Jim Farley says, "This fish jumped so close to the boat once, it left a trail of greenish-grey tarpon pookie across the gunwale and my T-shirt!" Jim caught this fish in September of 1997 off High Island aboard the "Full Nelson", and Capt. Whiteboots took the photo.
"The Thrill Of Victory"
The biggest obstacle any tarpon fisherman faces is the agony of defeat. If they can't accept it, they may never know the thrill of victory!

This 1937 photo shows President Franklin D. Roosevelt with a tarpon he landed off the jetties in Port Aransas. Roosevelt was fishing with Don Farley, in a 24-foot Farley-built boat. Holding the tarpon are Barney Farley and Roosevelt's son, Elliot. In the bow is a secret service guy and a coastie. Don Farley said of FDR's angling skills, "When the tarpon would pull, he would and when the tarpon would quit, he would".
