This is a Tarpon (Megalops atlanticus). Very popular gamefish in Florida, the Caribbean and Mexico. They get well over 100lbs and can jump clear out of the water.

One day remains at Big Rock. Marlin Fever's record-setting 919.9-pound blue marlin remains on top, while several release and gamefish divisions are still up for grabs. 🎣 Story: wcti12.com/news/local/big-ro… #BigRock #BlueMarlin #MoreheadCity

Armed and alert, we troll for gamefish off a Vietcong-infested island: trib.al/JoGYZki

When I was in the Army in the Canal zone in 1962-63 we were using scuba at that time. My tanks were made from two WW II surplus aircraft oxygen bottles tied together. We did recreational diving and spearfishing on many weekends in different areas of the Bay of Panama on the Pacific side. Tobago Island was 10 miles or so out in the bay, and there were numerous other small islands and rocks in the area to dive around. Primarily, we only used snorkels, and in certain deeper areas we would use tanks. In an area that was known to have giant groupers, I mean the really big ones the 500 to 900 pound Guys. We did see those, two or three of them going around the bottom about 90 feet down. Their tails were so powerful that they cavitated the water when they moved. We also dove in the Pearl Island chain, which is farther out in the bay, as well as the barrier reefs on the Atlantic side, including a special diving trip to the San Blas Islands. The sea life there was a totally different environment of tens of thousands of tiny, bright colored tropical fish along with barracuda swimming in water so clear that you had a falling sensation when you entered the water. This is in contrast to the gamefish prevalent on the Pacific side, with a huge variety of life from Moray Eeels, Lobsters, Oysters everywhere, Stingrays, huge Manta Rays, many varieties of Sharks, Hammerheads and other large sharks, etc. wonderful time for a young guy. I have never been anywhere else in the world. That had the quality of skin and scuba diving that you could do in Panama, particularly when you considered you could move from the Pacific to the Atlantic on the same day.

We fisherpeople use satellite chlorophyll charts to show us recent plankton blooms which are a good indication of where schools of gamefish are. Don’t you love technology?

Got a bar, so a quick update. We made maybe 50 pieces of tiny 2” squid early this morning. We did a couple drifts for one gamefish on the boat. Guess who?

Seasoned Atlantic anglers like Steve Atkinson, chairman of the Virginia Saltwater Sportfishing Association, have long known how important the small baitfish known as menhaden or “bunker” is for supporting healthy ecosystems, economies, and recreational fishing in the Chesapeake Bay and along the Atlantic. “They are really the base of the food chain because they feed all the other gamefish, such as striped bass, red drum, trout, flounder, [and] cobia.” But the benefits this keystone species provides may be at risk, Atkinson warns. “Many of us fishermen who are out on the water frequently, we have observed that schools of menhaden are less frequent and smaller.” Learn more here 👉 youtube.com/playlist?list=PL… 📸: @chesapeakebay / @VSSA / @HamptonsDrone / @fishguyphotos / @CCA_MD / Jon Haas / Chris Paparo / Sergio Diaz
