Sorry Box I posted this in the big game section but thought I would bring you my most intimate and amazing moment of my total trip last week
Here is the scene.
You get the call and you are now racing 10 miles in 3 foot seas with pouring rain in your face to a small spec on the horizon which is a boat. On the way you frantically check and re check your hooks, your leader, your connections as your pounded by the waves and hope & pray your not to late. You wipe the salt water out of your eyes to get a better look at the horizon.
The first thing you notice as you get closer is the black sky and some white water but as you near the boat you realize that the black sky is birds diving frantically into the white water below. Its hard to make out but you see crashing below the birds but as you slow down and approach with the wind at your back you can see the spinner dolphin feeding and there is rolling tuna everywhere. WIDE OPEN BITE
A wide open natural feed from the predators, baitfish skyrocketing everywhere desperately fleeing for their live’s. Absolutely pure chaos all within a small area and as you arrive you see your friends on the other boat in obvious pain and bent over fighting the unknown. You calm yourself down, steady yourself in the bow and with a strong powerful cast launch your popper into the violently frothing ocean … Flip the bail of your Stella ... long pull CHUG … Long pull CHUG … long pull CHUG a boil behind you!!! C’mon take it take it zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz your tight. The huge yellowfin races along the surface for a moment before plunging to the depths below peeling off massive amounts of line. You return to see your friend in the same position
Welcome to Heaven, isn’t it frigging awesome. That was my World in Panama last week. Enjoy
