THE GIANT TREVALLY
booking a Trip with Tailwaters
The Giant Trevally (Caranx Ignobilis) is the true bad ass of all game
fish. His round head, monster shoulders, and elaborate fins are built
for speed and power, and he has no predators other than large sharks
and humans. He literally eats everything, and his incredible eye-sight
combines with his quickness to make him a lethal hunter. While
adults spend much of their life in deeper water, fish well over 100
pounds often feed on the flats in skinny water or cruise in riding
the waves on the reef to ambush unsuspecting prey. There
is nothing more impressive than watching through the
face of a wave as a big GT surfs his way inside the
reef. The combination of hurried panic to cast
and huge dosage of adrenalin is very addictive.
There is also no eat more impressive than the
mighty G.T. The deliberate and crushing
speed of the monster when he zeroes
in on your fly is scary to
the point where you almost
don’t want him to eat it!
Once you witness the
spectacle that is the
“GEET”, it gets in
your blood, and
you become
obsessed
with trying
to find one a
bigger than
the
last one.
