YA KNOW GUYS IT S ALL A WAITING GAME WHEN YOU RE OUT HERE STAKED OFF. YOU GOT TO
SIT HERE AND WAIT ON THE FISH. THAT S SOMETHING, FISHING OVER IN THE INDIAN RIVER WHERE I M
FROM THERE S NO TIDE FLOW, SO THERE S NOTHING REALLY TO MOVE THE FISH, SO WE JUST GOT TO
SIT HERE AND WAIT ON EM. SOMETHING TOTALLY ABNORMAL FOR ME TO DO. WELL, HONSON, NOW THAT
OUR SPOT OPENED UP FOR US HERE, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR? BASICALLY,
WHAT S GOING TO HAPPEN IS THESE FISH ARE TRAVELING SOUTH ON THEIR ANNUAL MIGRATION AND THEY RE
GOING TO HIT THIS BAR AS THEY COME AROUND THIS CURVE AND COME RIGHT TO US. THE WIND
AND THE CURRENT IS PUSHING THESE FISH RIGHT UP AGAINST THE BAR, SO THEY CAN T CROSS IT,
BUT THEY LL HIT THAT BAR, AND THEY LL TURN AROUND AND COME STRAIGHT FOR US. THAT WILL
SET US UP PERFECTLY FOR THAT ELEVEN O CLOCK SHOT OR ONE O CLOCK SHOT OR ANY SHOT IN THE
FRONT OF THE BOAT. SO A PERFECT ELEVEN O CLOCK SHOT WOULD BE PERFECT WITH THE WIND
CONDITIONS WE GOT AND BROTHER, IT IS WINDY TODAY. LET S TAKE OUR PERCH UP HERE AND GET
READY. THIS IS THE BEST TIME OF YEAR TO BE HERE RIGHT? OH YEAH . . . TARPON SEASON,
MAY, ISLAMORADA, CAN T BEAT IT! MY FIRST TIME DOWN HERE IN THE PRIME TIME, SO

THE WATER COLUMN. THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE A LITTLE EASIER TO SEE AND THE ONES THAT

BLAIR> YALL CAN T TELL THE WINDS PROBABLY BLOWING TWENTY . . . ATLEAST TWENTY MILES
AN HOUR AND IT S A STEADY WIND. WE VE BEEN SITTING ON THE BANK ALL MORNING LONG AND WHAT
HAPPENS IS WHEN THE TIDE CHANGES THE TARPON START FALLING OUT AND THEY COME UP AND THEY

HONSON LOVES DOING THE FLY ROD AND FOR YOU FLY RODDERS OUT THERE THAT HAVE BEEN BEGGING

S WHY THEY CALL THEM THE GLAMOUR FISH! LET S GET SOME WATER THROUGH HIS GILLS AND GO

LET S GO THEN. MUSIC ADDICTIVE FISHING IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY D.O.A. LURES,
THE UNFAIR ADVANTAGE. FLORIDA S SPACE COAST, ORLANDO S CLOSEST BEACHES. STAR BRITE, THE
WORLD-WIDE LEADER IN MARINE, AUTOMOTIVE AND RV CARE PRODUCTS. FINS, THE WORLD S FIRST
SITUATIONAL SPECTRA-FIBER FISHING LINE. COSTA DEL MAR SUNGLASSES, SEE WHAT S OUT THERE AND
BY SEAGUAR, THE INVENTOR AND WORLD LEADER IN FLUOROCARBON FISHING LINE.
RIG IT RIGHT BY WRIGHT AND MCGILL. ISLAMORADA, WHAT CAN I SAY AND WITH THE BUGGY
WHIP. THERE S NO BETTER WAY TO CATCH A TARPON THAN WITH A FLY ROD. THE NEW WRIGHT AND MCGILL
FLATS BLUE FLY RODS, THEY RE COMING OUT SOON, SO Y ALL CHECK EM OUT THEN THEY HIT THE STORES.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE EM. WE RE USING ABOUT 7 FEE OF SEAGUAR FLOROUCARBON LINE AND WHAT
THE SEAGUAR DOES, IT S GOT A GREAT WHIPPING ACTION THAT WILL ACTUALLY LAY THE FLY OUT
RIGHT IN FRONT OF YA AND IT JUST LAYS IT OUT PERFECTLY. DOESN T REALLY MAKE IT SPLASH AND
HIT AND SPOOK THE FISH AND IT WAS DEFINITELY GETTING THE JOB DONE TODAY. AND FINS, THEY
MAKE A GREAT LINE, THIS IS THE XS. YOU VE SEEN ME USE IT OUT COBIA FISHING. YOU VE SEEN
ME USE IT ON ALL MY SPINNING GEAR BUT WHAT IT WORKS WELL ON ALSO IS FLY REELS. IT S REAL
TIGHT IN DIAMETER AND IT HOLDS A LOT OF IT AND YOU DON T HAVE TO SPEND A BUNCH OF MONEY
ON A DACRON OR ANY EXPENSIVE FLY LINE ALL YOU NEED IS A LITTLE BIT OF XS TO PUT ON THERE
AND YOU GOT PLENTY OF BACKING. THE FLY I WAS THROWING. HONSON TIES UP THESE LITTLE FLIES.
HE CALLS IT A LITTLE GREEN COOKIE. THOSE BIG GIANT TARPON WE RE LOVING THIS LITTLE GREEN
COOKIE. FINS ALSO MAKE A GREAT LINE OUT THERE CALLED HOLLOWCORE THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE
FOR BACKING AS WELL. WORKS GREAT FOR SWORDFISHING AND OF YOU GUYS OUT THERE THAT ARE BIG OFFSHORE
FISHERMAN YOU KNOW WHAT HOLLOWCORE IS. HEY, FINS MAKES IT, SO ITS GOT TO BE BEST. GIVE
IT A TRY, ITS REALLY GOOD STUFF. THERE S YOUR BAIT CHECK FOR TODAY. HOPE YOU ENJOY THE REST
OF THE SHOW AND A BIG TUG A WAR COMING UP. REMEMBER ONE THING THOUGH, EVERY FISHING SEASON
STARTS RIGHT HERE AT DICK RIG IT RIGHT BY WRIGHT AND MCGILL. SUBMIT
TO THE MOGAN MAN! YOU GOT WHITE YET? NOT YET. WELCOME BACK, WE RE CHASING
DOWN OUR MOGAN POON ON THE END OF THE LINE STILL. WE ABOUT GOT OUR WHITE LINE BACK, BUT
THE FLATS BLUE FLY ROD IS KICKING SOME TAIL TODAY. GET THAT WHITE LINE IN THE
GUIDES. THAT MEANS HE S ABOUT 75 YARDS AWAY. ATE THE LITTLE GREEN COOKIE, THAT S WHAT MY
FRIENDS CALL IT. IT S JUST A GREEN TOAD, BUT . . . O.K. WE RE GETTING CLOSE. OH
YEAH, THAT S A GROWN ONE THERE BROTHER. THAT IS A GROWN ONE. COME ON BABY! WE JUST GOT
FORTY POUND LEADER, DON T WE? 40 POUND SEAGUAR ON THERE. ALRIGHT COOL. WHOAAA
BABY, COME ON! GOD THAT IS SO CLOSE TO WHERE YOU CAN GET EM BUSTED OFF ON THEM RIGHT THERE
BECAUSE THEY RE STILL REAL GREEN. YOU RE REAL CLOSE TO THEM LIKE THIS AND YOU WANT TO PUT
SO MUCH PRESSURE ON THEM, BUT YOU JUST CAN T. YOU PUT A LITTLE SIDE PRESSURE ON HIM.
YOU GET A LITTLE BOW IN THE LINE LIKE THAT AND IT GIVES YOU EXTRA DRAG WHERE YOU DON
T HAVE TO GRAB YOUR FLY LINE HERE TO GIVE YOURSELF SOME EXTRA DRAG. WITH THAT BIG BOW
IN THE LINE, IT ACTUALLY WILL TIRE THEM OUT A LITTLE BETTER. THAT S WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE
MAKE A MISTAKE AND COME A LITTLE TIGHTER ON THEIR DRAG AND IT ACTUALLY DOUBLES THEIR DRAG
WHAT THEY RE GETTING AND IT ENDS UP POPPING THE LEADER OFF. WOOOOO, THAT S A HUNDRED POUNDS
EASY BUDDY! HE AIN T NO WHERE NEAR DONE YET. HE S PLAYED THIS GAME BEFORE.
WHAT S THAT? HE S PLAYED THIS GAME BEFORE. HE S JUST CONSERVING HIS ENERGY.
IF Y ALL EVERY GET A CHANCE TO COME DOWN HERE AND DO THIS, YOU CAN BRING YOUR OWN BOAT DOWN
HERE AND LEARN HOW TO DO THIS, BUT IF YOU COME WITH A FISHING GUIDE, SOMEBODY LIKE HONSON
HERE THAT S BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS, THEY KNOW THE EXACT SPOTS
TO GET AND THEY CAN YOU HOW TO DO THIS RIGHT AND THERE S CERTAIN ETIQUETTE UP AND DOWN
THE FLATS HERE THAT YOU REALLY GOT TO FOLLOW BECAUSE THIS AREA HERE WE RE FISHING IS KNOWN
AS A FLY ROD AREA, AND YOU DON T WANT PEOPLE FISHING BAIT IN HERE CAUSE IT JUST MAKES IT
TOUGH FOR FLY RODDERS, SO THAT S WHY WE RE IN HERE THROWING A FLY ROD TODAY. THIS FISH
HAS ABOUT RUN US ALL OVER THIS LITTLE BASIN HERE. YOU SEE THAT FLY LINE WHERE THIS GREEN
LINE IS NOW. I WAS DOWN INTO THAT GREEN LINE THAT S WHAT TWO HUNDRED YARDS OUT?
THAT S TWO HUNDRED YARDS OUT, THIS FISH MADE A DASH FOR GLORY. [LAUGHS] HE WAS
TRYING TO GET BACK TO CHANNEL FIVE. [LAUGHS] THAT S WHERE HE CAME FROM.
OH, WHAT A FISH. IT S AMAZING HOW BIG THEY GET WHEN THEY RAISE THEIR HEAD OUT OF THE
WATER LIKE THAT. THIS FISH HAS A LOT OF GIRTH FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. NOT A LOT OF
LENGTH, BUT A SHORT FAT ONE. YOU KNOW THEY MAKE THESE IN A TWELVE WEIGHT AS WELL.
I DON T KNOW WHY I JUST BROUGHT THE TEN THAT TEN HAS GOT PLENTY OF POWER.
THIS GUY HERE, I D LIKE TO HAVE A TWELVE WEIGHT ON IT. [LAUGHS] A TWELVE WOULD DEFINITELY
BE A LOT LESS CONDUSIVE TO YOUR HEALTH. [LAUGHS] YEAH, THEY MAKE THEN IN AN EIGHT,
NINE, TEN AND TWELVE WEIGHT. VERY NICE. THEY ARE REAL POWERFUL RODS MAN. EVERY
TIME THEY COME UP AND GULP LIKE THAT, IT S LIKE THEM TAKING A SPORTS DRINK OR A FIVE
HOUR ENERGY OR SOMETHING. THAT IS A HUGE TAIL. THAT TARPON S TAIL IS NOT PROPORTIONATE
TO ITS BODY. IT ISN T. OH, YEAH! THAT S WHAT YOU LIKE TO SEE THEM DO AT THE
END OF A FIGHT, RIGHT? OH, YEAH. YOU GOT TO BE REAL CAREFUL THOUGH WHEN YOU
RE AT THIS POINT IN A FIGHT. YOUR LEADER IS GETTING AGED. TARPON HAVE GOT LIKE A SANDPAPER
MOUTH, SO THEY CAN REALLY FRAY THAT LEADER UP, AND YOU CAN T PUT THAT FORTY POUNDS OF
PRESSURE ON HIM LIKE IF IT WASN T CHAFFED UP. YOU GOT TO BE REAL CAREFUL. THIS IS WHERE
A LOT OF THEM GET OFF BECAUSE YOU RE ABLE TO SEE THEM. THEY RE RIGHT NEXT TO THE BOAT.
YOU THINK YOU CAN DO THAT ONE LITTLE EXTRA TUG ON THEM TO GET THEM TO THE BOAT.
OH, THERE HE WENT RIGHT THERE . . . AN HOUR AND HOUR AND A HALF. OH, MAN IF THAT WASN
T A HEART BREAKER DUDE? BROTHER, THAT WAS AWESOME. YOU DID AN AWESOME, ALL YOU COULD.
YOU GOT THE BEST OUT OF THAT FISH. THAT WAS AWESOME. LET S SEE WHERE THIS THING
BROKE. WE HAD TO SWITCH TO FORTY POUND TEST LEADER. WE WERE THROWING AT THESE FISH EARLIER
AND THEY WERE SPOOKING, SO WE HAD TO SWITCH DOWN. WE HAD SIXTY ON THERE, BUT WE SWITCHED
IT DOWN TO FORTY AND LET S SEE WHAT HAPPENED? I BET HE JUST WORE THROUGH IT. TAIL
WHACKED IT. TAIL WHACKED IT. WELL, COULDN T DO NOTHING ABOUT THAT. HEY IF Y ALL
EVERY WANT TO DO THIS, MAKE SURE YOU GIVE HONSON LAU A CALL BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHERE THE
FISH ARE AT DOWN HERE. HE S BEEN DOWN HERE, FIVE YEARS? FIVE YEARS GUIDING, TWELVE
YEARS FISHING. WHAT S YOUR WEBSITE? PURPLEISLEFLYFISHING DOT COM
