BIGGEST Tarpon Ever Caught!!

Most fishermen dream of catching a world record-sized fish, especially a world record tarpon! In this episode of BlacktipH, we travel to Bahia Solano, Colombia, to fish the sardine migration along the coast of the Baudó Mountains. Shortly after Josh released his first-ever roosterfish, he hooks the biggest tarpon that we had ever seen! This fish was massive! Josh, Alberto Meija, and Dr. Robert Borrego battled this behemoth for nearly two hours before the fish gave up. After quickly taking a photo of the monster fish, we released it back into the ocean. At first, we thought this fish weighed around 250lbs, but after looking at pictures of other record-sized tarpon on Google, we started to believe that our fish was a world record! I called Billy Delph from Delph Fishing and Raymond Douglas from King Sailfish Mounts to validate our catch. Both men agreed that this fish must have weighed over 300lbs and thus breaking the world record! The estimated weight using the Bonefish Tarpon Trust Tarpon Weight Calculator was 312lbs.

i can relate so much to that, it's the little moments in life that can be robbed from you when you have a back injury, and herniated discs typically don't heal up, you just learn to deal with the pain after a while. Maybe he can invest in back supports or equipment that makes it easy to reel in big fish. Either way, i wish him good luck in his recovery

@Aaron-qk2hj 3 года назад

Fish like Tarpon actually regenerate their protective glycoprotein slime coat extremely quickly and it is usually not a matter of life or death when the slime is partially removed. The slime coat only acts as a protective layer against parasites and bacterial infections so they don't actually need it at all times to survive. This fish looked to be handled relatively well without any substantial injuries and was released quickly so there's a very small chance this fish died.

@@bhaubert different case IMO. He went out with the express intent of catching and eating the warsaw, not so with the tarpon. The warsaw also was pretty much dead at boatside, unlike the tarpon. That is indeed a shitload of meat, but with plenty of friends and good flash freezing you can make the most of it without wasting any. Still don't think it's something I'd do, but I can understand it better.

@@jerrymcflurry8498 yes it was invasive, but in this case the tarpon there are not intrusive to the food chain or the ecosystem in general. So releasing one is not the end of the world. They will spawn again anyway. And create a whole new generation

Can you please explain to me in detail how because of it's size this fish is guaranteed to die if you take it out of the water? You must not be aware of how tarpon regularly feed by launching themselves multiple feet out of the water to feed on bait.

Your back? 😢😭 KNOW WHAT IT CAN BE LIKE! As a Young teen I really messed up my back doing maxed out weights on the sitting squats machine.since then it can get thrown out or pinch a nerve and generally suck. Yours looks even worse than mine. I've found forcing flexes through the hamstrings and the abdomen and like deep yoga sorts of stretching to be the beat help. Have even gone from having pinch nerved for 2 months to reallinging bending backwards over a chair. Felt the nerve pop as the pressure of the pinch released and pain was instantly relived and was way better for the next two years. Sometimes while it hurts I've experienced you gotta force through the pain and it can get better if you're doing the right flex/stretch

@naturallymags 3 года назад

Hate to give it the view but had to see how disrespectful it was for myself. From dragging it in by the gills to chunking it back in the water like a cinder block, this was unreal. Nice example for an already ignorant generation of anglers. For anyone who doesn’t know, keep your fish wet. Especially one even nearing this size. Be quick with your handling, even more so after a long fight. Get in the water with them and take your time with the release. Or just try fishing for the enjoyment of the sport and not the clout. At this rate of disconnect, I’m truly worried for the future of our fisheries.
