Last week (7/2) I was tied to the fuel dock at the Seahag Marina waiting on one of my fishing partners to come out when I saw what I thought was a tarpon roll between me and the channel marker not 20' away from me and the dock. Then I decided I was imagining things...
Until I saw this...

it took me a few minutes to realize the kid was in the river between Seahag and Good Times Marina not 100' from where I saw the fish roll...

I've seen them roll in the river a couple of times over the years, but they looked to be pretty small. Big enough to have fun though!
Its a wonderful day in the neighborhood!

Not possible. Obvious fake. He did not have a buff, a 40K flats boat or a buggy whip!
Nice video. Bet that young un was stoked. My only really good tarpon fight was about that same age.
Ducks, turkeys, flats fishing. Who has time for golf?
