Take a step back in time...

Not more than a couple days after I received an invite to go tarpon fishing in Florida in June, a friend brought over a copy of the movie Tarpon. I haven't been able to go more than a couple hours without praying that I can make this trip work, and watching the movie only made the desire to go stronger. Apparently this movie was never officially released due to some of the content, but has recently been re-mastered and released in DVD format. Some of you may have seen bootleg copies years ago. While there seems to be no storyline, plot or just general flow to the movie, it features some of the most incredible jumping tarpon shots I think I will ever see. I did feel a little disjointed after watching because the scene transitions were beyond random, a lot of the cast appeared to be high, and there was a particularly disturbing scene of a chartered fishing trip turned blood bath. Also, be prepared to see a lot of too short cut off jean shorts on fully grown men(I guess it was the 70's). But that all pales in comparison to watching those incredible fish fling themselves out of the water over and over and over again. Here is a short clip from the movie:
