to chase the elusive Tarpon
Yeah tarpon are finicky as all get out. Doesn't surprise me one bit. That's an easy fish (especially on a fly) to see all day and not get bit.
A discount would have been a nice gesture on his part, but if he put you in/around tarpon, sometimes that's all you can do. Sometimes the fish don't want to eat, other times it takes a master fly fisherman with lots of tarpon experience to get bit. Sucks but that's the nature of those fish.
Just FWIW: Rolling tarpon are generally NOT feeding tarpon.

This guy knows what's up.
It ain't like put us on a school of trout under birds.
There were probably over 2000 tarpon in about 5 acre area where we were drifting. It's worth the price of admission to see them.
It's just tough to cut the check at the end of the day. I need a scale bad.
Even the snapper had shut down.
