Capt. Troy Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Lots of editing was done for Bubbas Tarpon fight. There is a long story behind that battle. To include, a tarpon attack on an outboard, a nearly pulling Bubbas pants off, fighting of the same fish on 2 different rods and some language used by all on board that needs not be repeated. :blush: But it was exciting.

Bubba B Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Okay Troy...I added an edited version of the funny video...The music added and the language removed!!! For those who do not know, this was a large powerful fish that suddenly took a 180 degree turn and wrapped the line around the motor and prop!! We completed some crazy acrobatics to remove the line and tie it to another outfit! Unfortunately the video did not show the entire show with me hanging off the stern of the boat!! Definitely an A+ for effort and team work to get a second chance on the Tarpon... If I recall correctly we fought that fish another 10 or 15 minutes after tying the line to the second pole...

Capt. Troy Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 That was a lot of work to end up having the fish wear through that 100lb leader. It's also amazing how quick a spent fish got so much spunk in the 5 minutes we weren't pulling on her. Just goes to show you that you got keep the heat on them. Good video Bubba.
