Freshwater tarpon in airport lakes?!?!

[Poseidon10/31]

Stuck in traffic today along the airport lakes I saw a big school of bait and nervous water. I watched it closely trying not to rear end the truck in front of me and saw a HUGE swirl and what looked like the back half of a 30-40lb poon busting on the bait. I recalled seeing a "FS Reeltime" or some fishing show where they caught snook in that lake. Are there tarpon too? I know what I saw, just need confirmation cause I'm still in disbelief.

Cool, haven't fished freshwater here. SoBe is closer and the poons are always there and bigger. If I ever get the desire to catch small fish maybe I'll check it out. Lol!!!!!!!!!!! Moreless a tip for you freshwater guys who already didn't know. Go toss a skitter walk on 10 mono and keep your fingers crossed!

ALL the canals in miami hold, even the shallow ones... I have seen canals inland (at least 50+ miles) that hold schools and schools of snook in crystal clear water, and with them tarpon as well...

I saw some guys a week ago fishing the shoreline right next to the highway. Not sure how they got in there walking, but I have a good idea where they started.
