VIDEO: Fishing for huge tarpon

The tarpon is a favourite of many fishermen who admire its acrobatic fighting style.

These fish are especially popular with anglers in Florida in the southeastern United States.

Cuba and Costa Rica are also famous for producing large tarpon.

Our footage today was shot off Costa Rica and sees anglers targeting tarpon with fly-fishing gear.
