Just saw your post. Yes, far superior. Although our four trips to Alaska were great, this was much better - non stop action with several doubles and even triple hookups!! Hopefully we will return to take advantage of this great fishing!!
Although my son will not be able to make the trip next year, I would love to return to Guatemala in 2019 (or sooner). Evidently the fall is the best time for catching Marlin there.

Fishing: the art of casting, trolling, jigging, or spinning while freezing, sweating, swatting, or swearing.
