PSFL-The one that got away

[scratchinbottom]

It was perfect timing. It just so happened that I would begin a total renovation on my first restaurant the day after I got back from my planned trip to Panama. We booked 6 days with John at Panama Sport Fishing Lodge of which, 2 were travel days. We arrived to a luxurious fishing lodge nestled on the river. It had luxurious accommodations with an extremely hospitable staff.

Our first two days we spend catching up mahi mahi, yellowfin tuna and both mullet and cubera snapper not to mention plenty of bonita for bait. It wasn't until the 3rd day that Brian (tunaddiction) hooked onto something big. The entire group including the mate were forced to fight a very pissed off YFT.

AFTER A 2 1/2 HOUR FIGHT THE 8'6'' MEDIUM/HEAVY FAST ACTION OTI TUNA SNIPER ROD EXPLODES!!!!

It was the one that got away that will bring me back to PSFL next year. Although we didn't see any marlin (attributed mainly to the peculiar weather) we caught a ton of fish and had a memorable trip.

I landed back in the states just in time to pour the kitchen floor.

Enjoy the pics ~
