I caught a 500 pound Blue Marlin this last year with the Panama Big Game Fishing Lodge here in Boca Chica and we backed down on the fish to get it to the boat quick and release it. Problem with that is you need an experienced captain watching the fish, the fisherman and the waves […]
I just saw this great high definition video that features a famous expat here in Panama, who transformed from Corporate Lawyer in New York City to Youth Hostel Owner and more in Panama.
