Tarpon

ESPECULADO

Megalops atlanticus

The 'Silver King' — a prehistoric gamefish that grows to 200 pounds and jumps higher than most boats.

The Atlantic Tarpon is the undisputed king of Leonida's inshore gamefish, growing to over 200 pounds and famous for its spectacular aerial leaps when hooked. Their silver scales are so large and iridescent they've been called the ocean's living mirrors. Catch-and-release only.
