This episode is dedicated to Eric Bachnik - the owner of L&S Bait Company
in Largo, Florida. Eric and his staff have been making Mirrolures since 1937.
We have thrown Mirrolures our whole life. Eric called one day and said the new
Mirrodine XXL was ready to be field-tested. We love to field test lures with
cameras rolling to show the proof. This episode was a slam dunk. We headed
down to the Everglades to fish with Capt Jim Hobales from Miami. We started
the day drifting a flat and big tarpon were slamming the new Mirrodine but no
hook ups. Jim recommended heading outside first and let the tide get right in
the back country and these fish should eat. So we made a short run, Talon'd
down just outside of the mangroves, and Capt Blair hooks his first tarpon on
live bait. It's an awesome fight! Jim says you ready to go back inside and
drift those flats again, and the whole crew smiled. Those fish in the
backcountry were much bigger than these fish. Capt Blair whacks a monster
tarpon on the Mirrodine XXL. This fish was a beast, and we made an XXL
believer out of Capt Jim Hobales on this trip. Watch the full episode of
"Flamingo XXL" below, share it with your friends and leave a comment below.
