Panama tuna tagging trip on April 22 – 30

Panama trip is ultimately above.
11 fishermen fished challenging for 5 days ( 1 fisherman couldn’t join the trip due to operation.
Right after shelling out 1 evening in Panama Metropolis, we left for the lodge(Panama Sportfishing Lodge).

Right after arriving at the lodge, everybody invested long hours to get ready tackle for the up coming day trip.

Orientation of tuna tagging by John of Atlantic Tuna Challenge prior to fishing. Tagging system is a large achievement on the trip. Each fisherman and Capt had been involved in tagging and we held only a couple of tuna for dinner although tagging most of tuna for the total trip.

Fishing started out.

We had excellent climate for the total trip. We concentrated on tuna popping for 4 days and tuna ended up all over the place.
