Fishing in Florida was revolutionized in 1885 in Punta Rassa when W. H. Wood from New York caught the first tarpon using a rod and reel. Venturing to Florida became all the rage and sportsmen traveled by rail and ship from the Northeast, Midwest, and Europe in search of this new experience. Tarpon Tales and Sport Fishing in Early Florida examines the phenomena of sport fishing from the late 1800’s to the 1930’s on the west coast of Florida. While sitting in a Hemingway era fighting chair, a visitor’s fantasy of the “great catch” will be enhanced by vintage photographs, mounted fish, rods, Edward vom Hofe reels, lures, tackle, gear, nets and souvenir tarpon scales.
