Without a doubt, they are marine monsters. You can find and fish specimens running from 40 to 80 pounds average. In recent years various fish have exceeded 100 pounds. These fish make fishermen and guides extremely cautious, since they are very skillful and not at all clumsy in their movements despite their great size. An average fight before tiring one of these fish lasts about half an hour, and the fight will be a great show of leaps and racing of these enormous silver arrows. Without a doubt, large Tarpon fishing is an experience of a lifetime. They eat small fish, are hunters by excellence and their tremendous aggressiveness makes them a great species for using impressionist flies and decoys.
