Last week Luke and I went fly fishing with some guys up in north Michigan.
While we were having some evening cocktails after a fun day of being out on the river, I asked one of the guys we were with what his all-time favorite saltwater fishing video was.
His reply…
“The video where the two guys catch monster tarpon from a float tube in the middle of a jungle”
After a few quick YouTube searches, I found what I was looking for… the “Tapam” tarpon trailer.
The trailer alone won an award from the Drake fly fishing video awards back when it was launched, and after watching it I realized why everyone likes it so much.
In an area of the Central American jungle where most of us wouldn’t be caught with our foot hanging off a boat, these guys are out there with their feet dangling from float tubes all day long.
Just wait until you see some of the monster tarpon they catch towards the end. They even do a great job on the conservation side of things. Not only that, but one of the anglers lands a monster permit as well.
I can only imagine inshore slam was going through their heads after that!
Amazing work gents!
The two guys who made (and star in) the video are Jan Kristensen and Daniel Goz, and the video below is actually a trailer for their full-length film called “Tapam The Movie”.
