Chasing Leviathans

Two weeks ago I returned from a flyfishing trip to Costa Rica. The line burn on my fingers has only just begun to heal and so it goes without saying, we had an unbelievable trip. I travelled with Nick Reygaert of Gin-Clear Media, in the hope of filming giant tarpon for his upcoming film Leviathan, […]
