[The Travel Slut]

Yes, the tarpon jump. Not very high due to their size and weight but they are EXTREMELY fast and agile and when they suspect food is nearby, they go into a frenzy and the water "boils".

I have seen heard some yelps and screams as people dangle over the pier edge holding food for the tarpon and the smart folks do drop the food before the little jaws come out the of the water. I have no doubt that there's been some accidental bites over the years.

And yes, after watching a little of Seattle's Monday Night Football's game against Green Bay with all the snow and wind, it made me feel glad I'd moved here from out west. :-)
