Thought you guys might like these... These were taken a few years back by Guy Harvey. We were at the Tropic Star Lodge and Guy Harvey and co were on site shooting a show for ESPN... He took these from a different boat and mailed us 8x10 glossies along with a thank you note where he thanked us for letting him "borrow" our marlin.. pretty cool experience.

Yea.. that pic ended up getting some exposure. It is now Tropic Star's default ad in the back of Saltwater Sportsman etc. We were all sooo mad that we lost the "rock paper scissors" that morning... The guy that caught the fish hit a home run there... great fish, photo'd by a famous artist, on a TV show and now in every saltwater mag around to rub it in... OUCH!

Yes there are on the Hanniable Hump. They are there all year 400-800#. I will be going back in July. We also have rooster fish, and very large dog tooth snapper.

We were acually fishing Zane Grey Reef.... About 20 miles from the Columbian border... incredible place. The amount of life on that reef is unbelivable. Everything from dolphin to 3 acre scools of Rainbow Runners to Whales... very very cool.
