Anyone hear of the thousands of juvenile tarpon in Caney Creek last week?

Creek was full of 14" tarpon, even way up by the bridge.

Pretty cool - been down there all my life and had never seen/heard of this before - I did catch a small tarpon in the creek when I was a kid, but it was a solitary incident.

Was down there last weekend. Water was pretty fresh near Jackson's ditch. Bait Shad and mullet) was every where. Guy across the creek caught one tarpon Friday night on cut mullet. That fish jumped a good 4 feet out of the water. I estimate it was at least 24 inches long. Guy next to me swears kids were catching largemouth bass in that area because of the fresh water. I caught 1 redfish about 16 inches long. Teased some gar by pitching a live shad weightless in front of good sized gar. Fun watching them hit the shad.
