Great fish!!! I have seen them swimming on the bottom in that size range usually around the Rhoda (I was diving) They remind me of the biggest menhadden in the world and smell about the same. I can't imagine battle'in one like that on a rod!!!!

So it is not illegal to remove a tarpon from the water?
It is, but who cares?

I certainly don't think it's guys like Capt. Rivers giving fisherman a bad name...quite the opposite. I imagine those folks he takes fishing have a pretty good feeling for fisherman after they leave...and he takes a lot of people fishing.
And also remember, he had a tarpon tag, so he was well within his rights to keep this as a trophy fish if he had wanted to....much less just pull the damn thing out of the water and release it alive(which still is within his rights, the laws are too vague).

Statewide Regulations • There is a two fish possession limit for tarpon. You must purchase a tarpon tag from the FWC to lawfully possess a tarpon. • Tarpon tags can be purchased from your local county tax collector. • Dragging tarpon to weigh stations is considered possession. • The intentional snagging or snatch-hooking of tarpon is prohibited. For questions concerning tarpon regulations contact the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Division of Marine Fisheries Management at 850-488-6058 or on the Web atMyFWC.com. What's the Problem?????
