I know there's a place in the Keys (Marathon or Islamorada?) that has a tarpon feeding amusement that is poplular. Folks get nipped quite often, but I've never seen one that big come out of the water like that. OUCH

It is actually more common than many would think. Especially around waterfront restaurants where patrons and staff feed them. The real danger comes from the tarpon gill plates. Stay away fron the gills!
