   Tarpon are an excellent game fish. I guess you could eat them if dying of starvation, but the bones and texture of meat make them quite unappealing.

   $50.00 take tag in Fl. too. It’s for people who want to have the actual fish mounted, not just a fiberglass rep.

   Some south american cultures eat tarpon, but they are predominantly a game fish.

   I don’t know about where you live, but in Texas, I guess they could be eaten, but not legally, they are strictly catch and release.

   Tarpon fishing-the sport of millionaires as it is called, is truly a sport rather than a way to get a meal. You will NOT want to eat the tarpon. I saw one in the surf with a bull shark once, and the shark wasn’t trying to eat it (also attributable to the abundance of bait fish which they were eating). My state- Alabama has some of the most liberal game laws on everything, and they require a prepurchased $50.00 tag to harvest one. Dont know why you would, though. But I cant argue their entertainment value. By the way, they are our state fish and the state record was caught across the street from my house.

   Just a game fish. Very few dare to eat one. Very bony, oily, and mushy.
