Please help with MOSFET proper usage

The IRLB8721PbF FET needs more than 2.5V gate to source voltage to handle more than 10A. The Arduino output needs to be 5V. Go to http://www.tme.eu/en/Document/b69003e9a3061f81b201d4c8f0c01a07/irlb8721pbf.pdf and check out fig.3.

Try connecting your FET gate to your Arduino +V and see what happens.
