Video: "Loco Sabalito" (Isla Blanca)



Fly fishing for baby Tarpon at Isla Blanca can be pure mayhem at times. Watch this crazed baby Tarpon as it runs this angler in circles around the boat and into the mangroves. Amazingly, the Tarpon is finally brought to hand after this wild duel. "Loco Sabalito" = Crazy Baby Tarpon!
