It will really blow your mind when you see one jump 10' in the air.

They are interesting creatures.. amost human-like facial features. Have you actually seen one jump 10 feet out of the water?? .. I can't imagine how a 700 lbs. bony-ass Sunfish that floats through the water most of its life, can muster enough speed to jump 10 feet out of the water---especially without a tailfin.

I don't know if I believe that BBC story.

I've read other accounts of them jumping. Really, any fish can jump, it's just that some do, some don't.

Holy crapzors, just checked that thread out--that beats SOCD hands down! Nice, real babes, and FISH!

Sometimes, I lost track of the babes and looked more at the fish. Like in this shot--when I saw it, my thought was whoa, what the fawk do they have there?




Huge-ass tarpon, by the way. And god bless the stars and bars. . . . . .

Some of those pics are from a large Tarpon tournament north of here at Boca Grande Pass. They catch and release 150-200 lbs tarpon all day in the spring. Try doing that on 20lbs braided line

I agree. That thread is at least as good as SOCD. TUFT is getting more ULTIMATE daily!

I have actually hooked one on a fly. I was fishing under a kelp patty for yellows when it cruised up so I presented the fly. Fought like a 45" supper swamper.
