(More customer reviews)"The Endless Summer" of tarpon fishing.
The series is visually stunning and will have great appeal to Midwest trout fishermen as they freeze their Orvis clad buttocks vicariously following several tarpon fisherman around Florida.
This would be an enjoyable way to spend a snowbound Sunday afternoon, if not for the inclusion of Andy Mill.
Andy, the ex-snow skier and equally ex-husband of Chris Everett, is showcased in a bizarre segment on innovative rod handling and tackle preparation yet manages to lose fish after fish, curse (bleeped out) each one and finally catch 1 fish in 24 hookups during the whole duration of shooting.
He then goes on in the special features segment about a new very large barbed gaff he invented so that he may not lose a fish boat side.
We realize that Mr. Mills is a newcomer to the sport, but gaffing large tarpon (a catch and release species) damages the fish's ability to feed itself (it's a suction feeder) as the gaff punctures the membrane in its mouth.
The bad thing about it is that this is presented as an instructional video.
All in all it was an ok video, but I am very sorry I spent $46 bucks on it. Word to the wise.
