Marlin fishing this month has been the best anyone has seen. Through Jan. 27th, with still 4 fishing days left -we fished 8 groups and have caught 30 marlin so far. Also a lot of large dolphin, mullet snapper, cubera snapper, sailfish and have caught 17 tuna over 100 lb. with the biggest at 240lb. We also had a lot of sharks here for two weeks. I am waiting to get a photo back from Trevor Gowdy - he was filming here and caught a 12 footer around 600lb. Most were around 150lb - captains called them Needle sharks - look a lot like a Mako but are brown - not blue. So am interested to get them identified. Never have caught them here before and last 5 days have not caught another one. Also had a big blow the first week - could not fish for two days but it laid right down after that.

Lee, Good to hear that all the guys have had some luck. With out question the three days that Jason and I had there were as good as I could have imagined. Good luck for the rest of the season...We had a great trip and if we come back to Panama it will be to the Big Game Club. Best wishes, Jack and Jason Cooper

Lee, It was truly a great experience to fish with you and your crews, I look forward to a return trip. I take the XXL in a T shirt and will wear it with pride knowing that I have fished with one of the great Panamanian big game fishing camps, so thank you again for a great experience. Very Truly Yours, Steven R. Rothenberger

Capt. Lee, Here are a few pictures from our trip. It's too bad the color of Kirk's dorado isn't brighter. Or, it's too bad my brightly colored dorado isn't larger! Thanks again for a wonderful time. We really enjoyed the fishing, food, accommodations and crew. As you can see by the fourth picture, we even had fun when it was too windy to fish. How did the other two groups come out for their fishing totals? We had a great time in Panama City. We toured the canal, went to El Valle, visited with the Emberra Indians and enjoyed the sights around our hotel. Thanks, Peggy and Kirk

Lee, We had the best time ever. The marlin fishing was the best we have ever had. 7 out of 11 in 4 days fishing is unreal especially considering their size . I sent a couple of pictures but I'm not too good with the camera and most of my fishing shoots are of splashes or tails . Everyone here is jealous and wants to come with us when we come back. Again thanks for a great trip and we will fish with you again. Doug Roscoe

Greg and I had a ball. we were impressed with the operation and especially the fishing. Looking forward to the next time. John Rashleigh

We really enjoyed our stay at PBGC. The food and accommodations were great, and the fishing was phenomenal! George Whitaker
