    Tarpon are such an amazing fish! I have had the privilege of fishing the flats of the Florida Keys on multiple occasions and experiencing these fish first-hand is incredible! Great capture and thanks for sharing. Posted 9 years ago

The Atlantic tarpon

The Atlantic tarpon inhabits coastal waters, estuaries, lagoons, and rivers. Tarpons feed almost exclusively on schooling fish and occasionally crabs. Atlantic Tarpons are found in the Atlantic ocean typically in tropical and subtropical regions, though it has been reported as far north as Nova Scotia and the atlantic coast of Southern France, and as far south as Argentina.
