Day 1

All the jiggers and poppers are in, and the 1st annual Jigging and Popping Panama tournament begins! The tourney is being monitored by Tony Pena that is going to do a write up. The highlights of the prefish day: YFT's hitting poppers like there is notomorrow , GanderVA catching a YFT (100#) on a popper , everyone had there fill on popping for Yft's and then tried their hand at some billfish. There was nice Blue Marlin that circled Capt. Macho's boat for 30 mins. It was big enough to try to eat the yellowfin that were being pulled in!! Richard threw a popper at it and manage to hook up to it for a bit. Perhaps it saw Tony Pena and remembered him from the alst trip??? Jack hooked a nice fish as well, more report manana

Getting picked up at the Grand Veneto
