Photo report from Costa Rica
Had a great trip to Silver King Lodge in Costa Rica shooting my show chasing tarpon. We landed a lot of great fish and just had a fantastic time. Here are a few shots from the trip. We have a lot more photos that we are sitting on as they are up for magazines right now. The video will blow you away.
Chris Lewis with a nice Jumper ![]() Jim with one of the few that was small enough to land solo ![]() Joe Lynberg with a nice size Tarpon getting a landing assist from Jim ![]() Steve Jurries gets a big one to the kayak ![]() Someone asked me if these fish pull hard. The answer is YES ![]() YES ![]() YES ![]() and YES ![]() They also love to jump right next to the kayak. I actually had one jump and land on the forward deck of my boat. ![]() And if the fish are not biting, it's not a bad place for a paddle ![]()

Awesome Jim. Glad to see you made it to the Silver King Lodge. Your photos bring back some great memories. Truely a first class operation. I have 5 friends down there right now and I can't wait to go back myself.

Yeah great trip, thanks for suggesting Silver King as a location a couple years ago. Took time to make it happen but well worth the wait. Thanks again.

Icredible pics.....I put the vertical cloud as my screensaver.
I've seen a lot of fishing programs featuring tarpon but never with those numbers and giants you guys landed. |
