5135, RE: Panama Jigging and Popping Tournament!
Posted by BretABaker, Tue May-26-09 07:02 AM
After 5 days of fishing and lots of Xtreme fishing adventure , we held the award night at the Panama sportfishing lodge outdoor pool deck. Mr. Tony Pena was kind enough to host the prize award. Lexpro team , Dan , Rich , Jack and Frank won the Cubera Snapper category as well as the second largest YFT at 110#. They worked hard all week for the fish , chasing the YFT's, deep dropping for grouper, etc. The biggest YFT went to GanderVa team , Gary , Skip , Guy, Reggie and TJ standing in for Guy the first day of the tournament. As luck would have it, TJs 130# yellowfin ended up being the winner! there were lots of big fish caught this week from YFT's on OTI Poppers and Jigs to live baiting for Marlin and "deep dropping for Grouper ". Many thanks to all anglers and the tournament sponsors ,OTI ,PSFLodge, Melton's and Grand Deli Gourmet of Panama for their contribution in making this event happen. Also thanks to Tony Pena and his wife Sabrina for coming down to cover the tournament. ( next years tournament will be held in Febuary 2010)
