A place that everyone should visit when in the keys...not so much on a holiday weekend though, trust me. Less than two hours from Margate, FL. My wife doesn't even come out on the dock with me anymore. She doesn't understand the thrill of a six foot Tarpon leaping out of the water to grab a fish from your hand. Awesome!

We have a winner! Yes, it's Robbie's. Well known to people who have a profile pic like yours. That is definitely South Florida water, maybe even Keys water. Where are you located?

Robbie's Marina. I love that place. Outstanding shot. I will take your lead for this one and do my best, but really I am just not worthy.

LOL, that is so funny that you should ask about the camera strap. I thought of you and Bear while I was shooting this without a strap and I knew that if you saw me that I would be admonished by both of you. I didn't come close to dropping it, but a couple of times the tarpon went for the camera and almost got it. They were as big as me and definitely could have swallowed the D700 and 28-70 lens together.
