500-Pound Marlin Surprise - Offshore Fishing an Uninhabited Coast in Panama

In this episode we're taking a small panga 2 hours down the coast from Los Buzos Panama to wild, uninhabited coastline to scout out some remote beaches for our adventure camping trips. After finding a few breathtaking locations in the middle of small islands, we decide to test these remote waters. The bite is absolutely INSANE on vertical jigs and giant poppers with yellowfin tuna, bluefin trevally, rainbow runners and more filling the cooler in a couple hours.
But things really take a turn for the wild when the biggest fish swimming in these waters takes our bait when we least expect it.

[@LightningKayaks]

Absolutely ridiculous fishing action out there... and seeing that giant marlin jump was SO wild to watch. Bucket list fishing destination!!

[@RABTV71]

See a there brahh😊👌

[@4stringmanagmaildcom]

That Marlin was epic. I caught a 220 blue in HI a few years ago. In July of this year I had a 300 to 400 pounder tailwalking behind the boat but I lost him after about 30 seconds. I know the thrill you experienced. The tug is the drug. Congrats!

[@YakFishField]

Never gets old seeing those animals go airborne!

[@NatureOverland]

Heck, even the Bonita said guys that was epic!

[@YakFishField]

Hahaha totally

[@yakfishtv]

This place never fails to deliver epic moments. Those marlin are such impressive animals... crazy to see them go airborn like that!

[@CALIBEAR]

The waters and island were gorgeous. That was so incredible seeing the Marlin jump! I mean the ice box full of quality fish wasn't too shabby either 🤣 Nice work!

[@YakFishField]

Such a beautiful coastline. The epic fishing is just a bonus!

[@scotthowerton9768]

Man ur life is a inspiration to get out there and enjoy life! Thanks for everything you do man I truly appreciate it!!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks for watching Scott!

[@Oldsport216]

It's amazing Robert responds to just about all the comments. Gotta love this guy

[@garethjubber]

That Black Marlin was INSANE!!! out of nowhere!.... just wow... not to mention a FULL cooler and a superdope self-hiding beach hahaha

[@YakFishField]

Haha yeah man, never know what will bite out there!

[@chris6054]

I was just rewatching part 3 of camping hoping you'd upload on my day off 😂. Cant wait to watch it. Hope you come back to FL again soon!

[@chris6054]

That beach, dude I'd spend as long as I could looking for sharks teeth 😂 that shell line looked like it could hold some gems. Especially since they've found some megalodon nursery sites in Panama 🤯

[@YakFishField]

I miss Florida for sure!

Action packed,my goodness! The ocean is alive,and beautiful!👍🇨🇦

[@YakFishField]

Yes it is

[@myinfinitestate1586]

G'day Robert, I reckon this episode was absolutely amazing mate. It brought back some great memories. Panamanian waters offer such amazing fishing, with an incredible diversity of fish. The variety of species, makes it fun. I've been fortunate enough to fish Panama three times and had an absolute blast on each excursion. The highlight of our last trip was a 700 lb. slob, Black Marlin. I was dragging arse for a couple days, after the 6-hour fight. We fished south of Isla Coiba near Jicarita and Jicaron. We caught and released two Black's, Including my 700 lb. slob, and one beautiful Blue, plus some absolute behemoth Tunas, among many other species. Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺.

[@YakFishField]

Hard to beat the southern coast of Panamá. I can’t wait to get back to Australia if they ever open back up!

[@myinfinitestate1586]

@@YakFishField G'day Robert, if you ever make it back to OZ, come December thru April to Western Australia and I'll set up one of my charter boats and put us on some massive Black, Striped, and Blue Marlin, along with amazing Sail Fish, Short Billed Spearfish and Broadbill Swordfish in Exmouth & Ningaloo Reef along with some personal hotspots! We can also take out the Sea Doo watercraft and go spearfishing and also catch some giant Crays (lobsters). The fishing and water activities here in Western OZ are absolutely amazing mate!!! Hope you can make it to OZ. Cheers from Margaret River, Western Australia 🇦🇺.

When you book this trip, does it cost extra to use all of your rods and tackle? i want to book this trip but the website is a little vague on that part. Id rather book and not worry about bringing anything of my own besides a radio.

[@YakFishField]

Yea there is a charge for renting Rods/reels, but most people do. I’d recommend it. We have what ya need and costs less than the baggage fees for bringing rods

[@toadstkr]

You need to get a party barge and build a floating cabin on it so you can park it near that little island beach then the tide is no problem. Maybe build 2 one for a kitchen you could also use them when you do go camping.

[@YakFishField]

Great idea
