I got sent these pictures by Eric Le Guyader.
These are a few of the fish he caught earlier this year on his trip to New Caledonia in June with Le Poisson Banane. Eric is a giant of a man so that should give you some perspective of the size of the fish. He would, in my view, be in the highest echelon of GT anglers. He simply seems to go quietly along and catches more big fish each year than just about anyone else out there. It happens too often for it to be a coincidence.
Eric is of course, also the maker of the famous Orion lures. Orion lures look plain but their effectiveness are absolutely beyond question. I've found them to be very effective myself. Orion lures can be obtained directly from Eric. Contact him on

One of our members who I won't name (so I will leave it him if he wants to identify himself)is taking on the challenge in October.
A couple of table-sized coral trout thrown in for measure.......
