Silver King: The Birth of Big Game Fishing

WGCU in Southwest Florida recently aired what looks like an interesting documentary on tarpon and the birth of big game fishing. Can't tell if this is going to get any broader play but it airs again on 4/25 so tune in if you live in the WGCU viewing area. 

In 1885, a single, sensational catch at Sanibel Island’s Tarpon Bay made international news -- and revolutionized sport fishing. For the first time on record, a mighty, silver-sided tarpon was taken on a rod and reel, a feat that created a frenzy for the fierce-fighting fish -- and made southwest Florida the epicenter of a brand-new sport.
