Off to Panama - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

That was an unreal trip! We barely scratched the surface, Panama is one fishy place. I'm just about finished sorting through about 1200 photos - good chance I'll get a quick report up by Monday afternoon. Highlights - Jim suffering sweet agony for more than 3 hours, then finally dropping the hammer on the biggest kayak tuna I've ever seen. A flying croc, all 6 or 7 feet of the beast. Big water, hidden reefs, sneaker sets smashing on the rocks - and pugnacious jacks lurking danger close. A porpoise patrol, an arm and lung burning chase after birds, finally close enough for one cast, better make it count - one crank of the popper and YFT on! Dancing snook, rooster retribution, spooky lightning strobes, elemental rain, bull sharks THIS big... and one sweet movie shoot.

NOTE TO GREGO - You put such a boot up Noriega's @ss, the country folded its army. Always good to see a grunt get ahead, why save all the spoils for the spooks and brass?
