Why Is It Illegal To Take A Tarpon Out Of The Water?
Too much handling is too much handling. Even if it is with the best intentions, too much is too much. Too much time out of the water is not good for a fish. After a long fight, a tarpon needs oxygen and rest to be able to recover and swim away without predation.

Fight it for an hour then pick it up out of the water, drop it in the boat 4 times and then try to release it...not so much.
