Everglades Fishing – Captain Ned Small

Tom Hartman on the foredeck, hunting sleepers. He jumped six today, three of them were in the eighty pound class. Tom is on a mission to learn how to catch an Everglades tarpon and working hard at it. We’ve had a few mishaps, losing a few fish, but Tom hung in there and got this one to the boat, his first landed tarpon, an Everglades sleeper. It may not be the biggest one we jumped but it’s a milestone in Tom’s fishing career and I was proud to be there for an angler as dedicated as Tom is. Congratulations Tom, let’s go get another one!
