Went beach fishing in Panama and caught a giant fish! Went with my striped bass/redfish gear on a spinning reel and threw a swimbait from the surf for a fish of a lifetime after touring the village of Jaque and Biroquiera.

Thank you for visiting us and trusting us for this adventure, Elias! I hope to see you again soon, besides you have to go back to fishing in the mouth of the river, because we did not let you go a second time!
Tight lines!
Diego
I was in Ft. Clayton on the Pacific side for 4 years. Great fishing.
Have a blast, E ! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride !
Which reel is that
Seems like you had a fantastic guide!

Great video. You should have fished there back in the 80s. 50lb snook and 30lb corbina. Saw lots of 60lb plus snook while diving.
Great video. Enjoy
that was amazing. we met many years ago in NY
Thanks for sharing, nice snook
Right on man, thank you for sharing your fishing trip of a lifetime and taking us along for the ride. Love your content man, by far my favorite fishing channel. Thank you for spending the time capturing and editing some awesome content for our enjoyment.
great adventure – good content!
Awesome fish! Congrats!
Too bad you did not shoot a view whilst flying over the Pearl Islands….they are amazing and with humpback whales seaso going on right now….
Nice congratulations.
Sign me up
Well, at least that tiny little plane didn’t crash! That’s the biggest snook I’ve ever seen! Congratulations, that’s a catch of a lifetime. Memories made on that trip.
hell of a trip boys. nothing wrong with harvesting it for the locals if it's not a pressured fish. that's
Congrats man, incredible catch!
Congratulations brother. Awesome snook. That place looks sweet.
Caught my PB snook in Panama….can't wait to go back 👌🔥🔥
There goes Elias able to persuade fish to come into the shore. Nice fish.
Your voice over😂😂
That’s cool
Man i havent even thought about fishing in months. So happy to have an Eliasvfishing video pop up.
Sick catch, always a fun time to see a veteran outdoorsman genuinely speechless, and very graceful of you to feed a local family with it
Thanks for flying with us!!
Awesome fish I'm glad you had the opportunity to go there
Was wondering where you had went. This explains it. Dang FAT snook!!
Awesome to be able to see your technique. Great catch and great way to start your trip. I saw a young boy catch one like that handlining at Pavones just across the border north of you. It was almost as big as himself. He was so proud. The entire village was hyped. It was a crazy battle with his older brother helping him a bit. Great memory
Hey guys I have a question, which moon phase is best to fish in the panama for tuna, snapper, gt enz?
Trip of a lifetime for sure. Thanks so much for sharing with us
is this Atlantic or pacific? I thought snook were Atlantic only, but there was some talk of rooster fish which I thought were pacific.
Biggest female snook I ever caught was a 42 incher in Ft. Pierce, FL.
Forget the cost of the trip! What was the cost of all the new gear for the trip. So happy your able to live your dreams. Been watching you for 2 or 3 years now
Awesome… wondered what you were up to. Cobia are on the move in NC. thought you might be out there…but… guess not. See ya when you get back.
That's a big snook! I'm glad you got to give it to the locals and enjoy some of it too.
Good times and memories that last forever!! Thanks for sharing!!
What kind of rod is that? Looks awesome.
I’m here because you stole Sean’s spot 😂😂
I love the Vlog style edit for this trip. It's always a pleasure to live my saltwater dreams through you. Great catch on the snook!
I'm pretty sure the first fish was a sierra, or that's what Costa Ricans called them when we caught them. They're very good to eat. I lived in Costa Rica for 9 years and this video reminds me of being there. I miss it!
All snook are called robalo in Spanish but each species has local names too. The small ones with the big anal spine are called gualaje (wall a hay) and they are absolutely delicious. They bite little feather jigs and they're a hoot on 6 kb test.
The snook you caught was nice but not massive by local standards. I'd look into species identification because im not sure it was a black snook. There are several kinds that get big there, the blacks I saw had short snouts. The one you caught was maybe a yellow or white snook. They're all awesome and I'm jealous of yours. Beautiful fish. I did more offshore fishin' down there.
11:12 that’s a australian queen fish mate
Awesome fish Elias. I went to Costa Rica in January and was amazed at the number of fish we caught and how big they were.
The sunset, the crashing waves, the giant snook — paradise, brother, pure paradise 🏝
Nice catch buddy your personality is not the fit because you are always cool headed about catching whatever. Nice video😂😂
