Now catching a tarpon of that size in a float tube is impressive I think if you really want to impress me how about a 15 foot great white in a float tube. Now that would be awesome

I was hoping to see one of the boy's north o the border go 1st . They already have the tree trunk fly rods made for that type of fishing. . I could see that Stephen hooked up and being towed like the barrels in the movie jaws. 
Unfortunately I do not live anywheres near salt water...So I will just have to settle for fishing
for atlantic salmon.....AND, Let's not be insulting my 9 foot -8 wt graphite rods...I learned a long
time ago not to go hunting bears with a bb gun.... 
Stephen you are a piece of work. I would never make fun of your equipment . Why go small when you can go big huh. Funny my wife said the same thing to me.
Hi All
I just changed the home page video to one that my good friend will appreciate. Ian Roberts tried to catch a Tarpon on a fly many years ago and did not succeed, but did get one on a bait rod, he can tell the story in this thread.
You can also go to Catch Magazine and go to issue #15 January 2011 and find another video of this Fly Fishing Journey.
ENJOY
