    THere is some nonsense these days perpetrated by the IGFA that a couple different species of any variety of meatfish can be a slam, but most people in the know don't acknowledge it as a slam in the traditional sense of the word.
    Ok, I admit the mistake. Thank you for correcting me. That is one hell of a trip. Id be estatic to catch two species of billfish in one day.

    In my experience, Kenya offers probably the best chance of a slam or super slam due to the proliferation of smaller blues, blacks and stripies, overnight broadbills as well as huge numbers of Pacific Sails...still makes it one hell of an achievement though!
