We’ve all got our vices. I have a tarpon fishing obsession. They’ve become the ultimate adversary to target in my Hobie® Mirage Pro Angler.

Watch as Ross Gallagher hooks up with a silver king at night. This is the right kind of night mission. #HobieWayofLife #tarpon #HobieFishing

Sheer prehistoric power, high flying acrobatics, packed into an enraged pit bull attitude that often pushes well over one hundred pounds and seven feet long. There is nothing else on my mind when tarpon season is here.

I’ll spend three to four nights a week from March to December traveling around my home waters of Southwest Florida chasing the tides and running bridges late into the night, looking to launch my kayak in the right place at the right time.
