Thought some of you might enjoy this photo I took of my 11 year old son hand feeding the Tarpon at Robbies Marina in Islamorada, FL.  Some of these fish were 7+ feet in length, yet there was no fear feeding them.... even after my 13 year old son had one eat his entire arm up to the elbow... giving him a bunch of bloody scrapes down his forearm.

 I suspect this guy won't have any problem staying calm while figure8ing a 40 pound musky.

Do not try this at home with muskies. I have a feeling it would not end well.

Actually if you were able to accomplish this, you would be the most sought after guide in all of the musky world. Lets face you would need, gloves and something armor like for your arm, but I would PAY to see someone do this, probably more then I would for a normal guide. Wouldn't you?
