That’s Ray Curtis with the fishing rod, according to Clay.
"My brother was tarpon fishing and three bull sharks destroyed the tarpon," he wrote on YouTube.
Though they can grow to be quite large, the tarpon never stood a chance against the sharks.
According to the fish info website Fish Base, Atlantic tarpon have been known to grow up to 8 feet long and weigh 350 pounds, but these fish are more commonly around 4 feet long.
