James Robbards and friends went fishing with us at Mariato, Panama the first week in
June 2001 for two days fishing. The first day was very productive off South of the lodge
with an abundance of large Cero Mackerel, Albacore Tuna, Trevally and Jacks. Charlie was
nearly spooled by, but managed to land a 60 lb Wahoo on Alex’s boat. James fought a
Mackerel to within 5 feet of the boat when two large shadows attacked and the Mackerel
disappeared along with about 50 meters of line. After a vigorous 15 minute fight, James
landed the Cubera Snapper shown below.
