This one will get away if you don\'t act fast, it will just be another fishing story. The Atlantic tarpon inhabits coastal waters, estuaries, lagoons, and rivers. It feeds on various fish and crabs. It is capable of filling its swim bladder with air and absorbing oxygen from it. The Atlantic tarpon is also known as the silver king. The large mouth is turned upwards, the lower jaw containing an elongated bony plate. The last ray of the dorsal fin is much longer than the others, reaching nearly to the tail. The Atlantic tarpon is found in the Atlantic ocean typically in tropical and subtropical regions. Diet includes smaller fish and crustaceans.The tarpon is considered one of the great saltwater game fishes, not only because of the size it can reach and its accessible haunts, but because of its fighting spirit when hooked; it is very strong, making spectacular leaps into the air. Although a variety of methods are used to fish for tarpon (bait, lure and fly on spinning, conventional or fly rod), the method that has garned the most acclaim is flats fishing with a fly rod. It is a sport akin to hunting, combining the best elments of hunting with fishing. Truly light tackle fishing where the fish may weigh 10 times or more than the breaking strength of the leader! Typically an angler stations himself on the bow of a shallow water boat known as a \'flats skiff\' and wth the aid of a guide search for incoming tarpon on the flats. When a school or pod of tarpon are sighted, the guide positions the boat to intercept the fish. The angler usually has no more than 6-10 seconds to false cast out enough flyline and make an accurate cast to fast moving fish. Accuracy and speed are paramount but the task is compounded by the inevitable excitement and nervousness of seeing a school of fish that may top 180 lb (80 kg) bearing down on the angler. Once the cast is made, the fly is retrieved and hopefully a tarpon inhales the fly. The hookset is difficult due to the hard mouth of the fish which has been likened to the hardness of concrete. For that reason many tarpon throw the hook on the first few jumps and so many times it is asked of an angler \"how many tarpon did you jump?\" rather than how many they caught. If the hook stays secure, then the fight is on. Tarpon have tremendous endurance and are one of the most exciting gamefish to fight - frequent spectacular jumps, long runs, and stubborn bulldogging are all part of the game. Although an experienced and skillful tarpon angler can usually land a tarpon in less than an hour, the average angler usually takes longer, anywhere from an hour to more than three hours. This beautiful replica is crafted of a poly resin plastic-like material and air brushed with great detail to Taxidermist quality. They are fitted with a built-in hanger, ready to hang.Lays flat against the wall. Perfect for inside or outside display in boathouse, bar, poolside sports room, office, game room, etc. Plaques - Decorative wall plaques are unique accent pieces for boathouse, bar, poolside, sports room, game room, patio, or other indoor/outdoor area.
