Tarpon

Synopsis:

The first of the modern fishing films, “Tarpon” features early guides and anglers as they fly fish for tarpon in the wilderness of the Florida Keys. The film captures the essence of the sport in dramatic footage and in the appearance and commentary of popular authors Thomas McGuane, Jim Harrison and Richard Brautigan. Colorful scenes of Key West from another era—with treasure hunters, smugglers, hippies and eccentrics—are background to stunning cinematography and tarpon fishing at its finest.

To top it off, Jimmy Buffett also composed original music for the film.
