I know the place this was filmed at, it is just down the road from where I live here in the Keys. It is called Robbie's. You can feed tarpon by hand and it usually is a pretty neat experience for people coming down to visit the keys. That being said, the guy who did this is a total douche. If you watch he forced his fist down thru the fish's gills in order to not lose him. This is like someone grabbing your lungs, which is the exact same function of the gills. Although Tarpon are indeed tough fish, any fish that has his gills damaged most likely will not survive. Sad thing to see.
