That was great Bill, thanks! Love that topwater action about midway through. 8) Looked like Tim(?) was throwing a crease fly on a floating line -- looked like a heckuva cast he made with it. :shock: Also fun seeing hooked fish go flipping through the air. 8)

I'm blaming you for keeping me up WAY past my bedtime last night :D
I watched all the videos on that page...very exciting!

Oh yeah, and when I did go to bed, I laid awake running up and down a baja beach (in my mind) chasing roosters.:D

Hairstacker,

That is where we go all summer with groups through the travel service at the shop. It is like magnum black bass fishing with lots of topwater. That baby Tarpon fishing is my favorite.

Jbird,

I think that is your kind of fishing, chasing Roosters. At 61 I think I am too old now but I could take pictures.

Aloha bill, cool videos. Thanks for sharing. In the Yucatan video, he uses a Rainy's bubblehead popper, orange color I think. Have you ever used these flies? I am a sales rep for Rainy's and we love those poppers out here in Hawaii. I have taken Ahi, Aku, Mahi, Jacks, Barracuda, even shortnosed spear fish all on that popper. I thought it was pretty cool to see that tarpon nail the popper and get stuck right in the roof of the mouth. I just wondered if you had ever tried them. Again thanks for the video, Mems.
