Hey guys, I'm pretty excited about this trip that I booked later this year down in Key West. The guide service takes you out tarpon fishing, but instead of a rod and reel, you lure them out of the water and have your partner shoot them. It's a fairly new technique, but I hear it's really catching on. Anybody that has seen those videos of folks hand feeding tarpon from the dock will have an idea of how this is done. I'll post a full report when I get back.
If any of you are interested in booking a trip, contact April Fool's Charters out of Key West, FL. I think they're a sponsor

Sadly in this day and age, there would probably be plenty of takers for a "charter" of this type if it were really offered somewhere... Doesn't matter- as long as its on the wall...
