Anglers reeling in a world-record tarpon

Anglers fishing for tarpon in the Florida Keys may have landed a world-record fish.

The massive tarpon, which weighed in at over 220 pounds, was reeled in by angler Kurt A. Doerr on October 12th, 2018. The current world record for tarpon stands at 274 pounds, caught by an angler in Mexico.

Doerr and his friends were returning from an unsuccessful day of fishing when they spotted the huge tarpon swimming along the side of their boat. Doerr quickly grabbed his fishing rod and began to reel the fish in. After a tense battle, Doerr was finally able to bring the tarpon into the boat.

Despite being well over the current world record, Doerr is not eligible to claim the record because he caught the fish using a landing net rather than by hand. Nevertheless, he and his friends were still excited to have caught such a massive tarpon.

Tarpon are one of the largest and most impressive fish species in the world, and catching one is definitely a feat to be proud of. If you're lucky enough to land one while fishing in Florida Keys, make sure to snap some photos and share your story with us!

Tarpon season may be on the decline

Some anglers are saying that tarpon season may be on the decline. According to them, there have been fewer and smaller tarpon caught in recent years. While there is no concrete evidence to suggest that this is the case, it is something that anglers should keep an eye on.

If you're looking to catch a tarpon during your next trip to Florida, you may want to do so sooner rather than later. The best time to go fishing for tarpon is typically during the summer months, but this could change if the trend of a declining population continues.

There are a few possible explanations for why the tarpon population may be declining. One possibility is that changes in water temperature are causing the fish to migrate elsewhere. Another possibility is that overfishing is taking its toll on the population.

Whatever the reason may be, it's important to be aware of it so that you can make the most of your next fishing trip. If you're looking to catch a big tarpon, now may be your best chance.
