It’s great to see young anglers with confidence, but this six-year-old is already talking like a saltwater veteran. In fact, this pint-sized pro even manages to give the other anglers on the boat a play-by-play as he reels the large fish in, as well as spouting some sage advice on how to properly handle a tarpon.

- Bait: Mullet
- Hook: 7/0 Eagle Claw circle hook
- Leader: 60lb Fluorocarbon
- Reel: Quantum Cabo 60
- Line: 50lb Seaguar braid
- Rod: 7ft Quantum Blu PT 12-25lb
