MASSIVE tarpon shows amazing fighting spirit after being caught by determined angler
Michael got to live every adventurous angler's dream when his line snagged a tarpon weighing at least 80 pounds!
The massive fish refuses to go down without a fight, resisting being pulled to the shore for over 10 minutes. Michael is forced to run all over Jensen Causeway to keep his catch in sight.
Eventually, the tarpon's resistance fades, but it isn’t until Michael steps into the water that he finally grabs the huge fish.
He and his friend then pose with their exceptional catch while the filmer, James, captures the memorable moment on camera.

00:00Alright, he's gaining on big tarp and hooked up here.
00:12Probably out there 300 yards, making some progress, he's going to be tired by now.
00:43Boys, pull your lines up.
01:05Did you see that, Colt?
01:12Girls, I said all of you out of here. Out, out, out, out, out, out, out.
01:20Girls, wind up your stuff right now.

01:30Keep going, keep going. He's got it.
01:41Gain on him, gain on him.
01:44He's battling for his life now.
02:15Come on.
02:39He's going to be worn out by now.
02:42Nice feeling, for sure.
02:51Big tarp.
02:55What do you think, 80 pounder?
02:57Yeah.
02:58Somewhere around there.
03:12He's pulling.
03:37That's a good reel for it.
03:44Doing good, doing good. This guy, he's the tarp and slayer out here.
03:49Is this your second one for today?
03:51Yes, sir.
03:52Nice, nice.
04:08We should be seeing this fish soon.
04:30There he is.
04:33That's a big one.
04:35That's a big one.
04:37At least 80 plus.
04:3980 plus right there.
04:41You want to get in the water with it, right?
04:43I got gloves, I got pliers, bro.
04:57That looks like that big one that was jumping out there.
05:01It was picture perfect.
05:03We found the line, he drifted back.
05:06Yeah, it went right to him.
05:10Randy said if he hooks up again.
05:13He called it, man, he called it.
05:16He called it.
05:17Oh, he called it hard.
05:18He called it hard as hell.
05:31Nice.
05:56We're going, we're going.
06:00He's done.
06:02Go on the playground, baby, daddy's right here.
06:23We've got a big fish on the line, we've got to go to those rocks.
06:30Alright.
06:37Let's not fall.
07:00Alright.
07:14Oh yeah, you have a full line.
07:16Uh huh.
07:17That's a big boy.
07:21We got enough juice.
07:23I'm not talking about the fish, I'm talking about you.
07:30Here, take a bite of this.
07:36Is it a good fish for a walk?
07:38Yeah.
07:50It's only like four feet, three feet.
08:00He's getting a second wind now.
08:13I will be.
08:15For this fish, we're getting in the water.
08:30Okay, he's already down there, good.
08:42The best place to get in the water is to get him.
08:47You're not going to get him.
08:59Yep, she's got him.
09:05Oh, shit.
09:10Alright, turn him around.
09:16Don't let her get tired.
09:18I know.
09:22I'm getting ready to eat, right?
09:24Yeah.
09:26Alright.
09:33Hey, what is that thing?
09:35I don't know what it is.
09:37It's a tarpon.
09:50Turn, baby, turn, baby, turn, baby.
09:52Go left, go left, go left.
09:57I don't know what that is.
10:06I'm coming back at you.
10:08I don't know.
10:10Watch yourself in case that line breaks and that rod snaps back.
10:13Yeah, that's right.
10:23That's a tarpon.
10:26That's huge.
10:28I didn't ever find that.
10:32That's the biggest one I've seen.
10:34I've caught some smaller ones.
10:48Riley, back up.
10:56Look at that.
11:00I see it.
11:02You can see it, baby.
11:05Wow.
11:08Try to stop it in the rocks.
11:10Warm up.
11:12There's a baby down there.
11:20Hold on, hold on, hold on.
11:23There it is.
11:30It's a bigger one.
11:32Are you pulling him all the way over here?
11:34Yeah.
11:43There he goes.
11:45There he goes.
11:47There he goes.
12:14He's got him.
12:17He's got him.
12:27Oh, you got him?
12:29No, I don't think so.
12:33Oh, wow.
12:39There he is.
12:42Can you get a look on the scale?
12:45Wrangle that thing.
12:47I wish I had a scale.
12:50Wow.
12:51You got to get a coupon off that mother...
12:57We got you.
12:58Good job, guys.
13:00Good job, man.
13:01Teamwork makes the dream work.
13:11Yeah.
13:13We're going to get her all the way out of the water.
13:17Okay.
13:20One, two, three.
13:22There you go.
13:26Nice.
13:30Nice job.
13:31Good job.
13:34How long was that fight?
13:38About 20 minutes.
13:40We beat that airboat.
13:42Guys, I don't have a boat.
13:44Get some boats.
