Excellent report and great pics. I think I'll be placing an order for some of those sebiles in anticipation of the next time I come across a big school of YFT here in Costa Rica.

The Stick Shadd 155 SK Salt and Sun Series was the straight deal. They went ape sh!t over it!

Di Hrd, I can confirm your reports down to the detail. We fished PescaPanama that same week and got 45- 50 yellowfins in three days at Muntosa. I think we were actually right next to you guys during one of those blitzes with every boat running directly at the boil at 30 knots! This is truly combat style fishing. Our fish were smaller on average than yours, but we got a 135lb fish on an Ocean Lures Sp Heavy, a 100lb fish on fly and lost another beast in the 140 - 150lb range on the fly at the boat. Panama and Muntosa in particular is a special place, we will be going back. I will post some pics when I get home, glad you guys had a good trip.

Thynnus,
We saw you guys on Pesca boat fighting YFT on flyrod. That was very cool!!! Would have taken some photo's but there was another tuna blitz going on several hundred yards from you'll.
Good to hear you'll were there to experience an incredible week of YFT. I have fished Panama several times this year and have had excellent fishing every time but nothing comes close to this past trip for YFT!!!
Looking forward to your report.
