Summary

This year there have been an increasing number of shark attacks on tarpon in the Florida Keys. In this episode, I break down five important steps to avoid your tarpon falling prey to bull sharks or hammerheads. We have unfortunately seen a number of shark attacks recently, and all responsible anglers should try to do everything they can do to prevent tarpon from being eaten by the tax man. Breaking off the fish of a lifetime might be the only option in some cases to allow it to survive. Do you have anything specific that you do to keep tarpon from being attacked by sharks?
