cool new dvd re-released from the 70's
Colorful scenes of Key West from another era - with treasure hunters, smugglers, hippies & eccentrics - are background to stunning cinematography & tarpon fishing at its finest. The first of the modern fishing films, Tarpon was shot in the wild panorama of the 1970's Key West. As they fly fish in the aquatic wilderness of the Florida Keys, anglers & authors capture the essence of the sport in words & dramatic film footage. Original music by Jimmy Buffet. With appearance by authors Richard Brautigan, Thomas McGuane & Jim Harrison. 53 min.
Original music written & performed by Jimmy Buffet
Besides including some of the only footage of Richard Brautigan, the cult 60s poet and novelist, "TARPON" also features commentary by legendary guides Woody Sexton, Steve Huff, and Gil Drake, as well as Page Brown, an ardent Keys conservationist.
Tarpon is a gem and, frankly, a window on better days. Without a profound respect for tarpon, this celebration of their majestic power and the enchantment of their pursuit, could never have been made. Tarpon fishing was and is a dream, and this may be the only time it's been captured. —Tom McGuane, author
