Anyone ever caught one?

Caught one with sardine on the bottom at around 65' at a rig fishing for snapper. Never thought I'd catch a silver king, albeit a small one.

Caught several on a charter trip out of Boca Grande pass about 7 years ago. Stronger bite than a redfish and absolutely brutal on the end of a line.

I really want to head to Gasparilla Island in yak during the tarpon run in Boca Grande. I've seen some crazy videos of kayak fisherman on tarpon.

When I lived in the Virgin Islands, a bunch of them would hang out by the boardwalk. You could see them swimming right under you. We'd eat chicken wings and toss them the bones. They would bust on some chicken bones.

Caught one that size trout fishing. Was a blast on lite tackle.
