Tobago – We don’t get a lot reports of Blue Marlin close to Tobago as it seems most boats are fishing other waters out of there. When we do get them though, they seem to be pretty darn good, like this one. As we are told, the only downside was due to tournament hours, so they boys had to leave…
Panama – You may remember the series of shots of a Blue Marlin taken by our friend Marc Montocchio down in St Thomas. We still think to this date, it was some of the coolest stills we have ever seen.

To add to his collection, he has…
