Fishing with topwater poppers and doing some live bait trolling in Panama at Tropic Star Lodge. Left the kayaks and hopped on a boat for the day to fish for whatever bites on the ocean. Wrapped it up with a little jigging as well.

My wife and I are staying at Come Fish Panama in July. I hope we get half the action y'all have had.

[@vancafishing4963]

Luar biasa

[@anthonyhoffman4296]

This series has been great Elias! It has finally cemented my desire to visit Tropic Star. Both this and the kayak portions so far have been really engaging! Thanks man, i really appreciate your work!

[@EliasVFishing]

I liked the split of doing different fishing when I was tired.

[@mikewest712]

Good captain, good fishing, definitely a lifetime experience.

[@EliasVFishing]

Absolutely.

[@floatingvillage7538]

Very happy to fish again, very beautiful😊😊

[@waterassassinfishingbuilds6122]

I finally saw Elias from the 3rd person and why do we call him Elias????? He looks like Popeye, I always thought man it’s gotta hurt those arms in the yak!!!! Now we all know it’s Mr. Popeye!!!!!! I’ve seen him with his beach cameras before, but nothing like it looked with him sitting in that chair on the boat, fighting that monster!!!! “Popeye Elias” I vote that’s our buddies new nickname!!!

[@perfectspotfishing]

Wow looks amazing! Central America is a fishing Paradise

[@recklesshunter]

Here we have the Red Sea, one of the most powerful adventures from the beach🎉🎉🎉🎉

The trip of a lifetime. Elias so glad you were able to make this trip. It has to be just amazing. If the water is beating you up I can't imagine what it would do to me. Great vids. Thanks

Awesome as always! Thanks for taking us along with you (virtually) Glad the wind was in cooperation because it's been blowing in VA for a month it seems. Good stuff

[@EliasVFishing]

Much milder winds in Panama this time of year than any coastal state in the US

[@wadeirwin7003]

I’m in the Norfolk/Va.Beach area, fish the beaches and the wind and cool weather has been a bitch this May.

[@mansbfishing]

Wauuu...amazing fishing 🎣 🤝🏽🎣

Nice clean vid!

[@monarmancing5099]

this is what I like fishing kuwek greetings friends

[@reelsaltkitchen]

We're blessed with some of the world's best fishing here in NC and all, but damn if that don't make someone wanna become an ex-pat in Central America....... Nice, brother.

[@EliasVFishing]

Basically my thoughts as well! The other thing that stood out to me is how much milder the wind was for a week! So much more quality time on the water available. Consider getting two to three days of wind that cooperates to be decent in NC.

[@reelsaltkitchen]

@@EliasVFishing Yeah, wind's killing me the last two years, but I've had some banner days in high wind so I guess I'll live with it, lol.

[@Andresureshot]

Awesome

topwater tuna!!

fun!

Any day of the week, that's "Hot Tuna" ... *fish-on* in Stereo! ... National Geographic couldn't do much better.

[@bluespace87]

*rotor cuffs have left the chat*😂awesome video my guy!

[@lmpbzkt1]

Let’s go!!!!!

[@muayadalmoosa3651]

Awesome captain!! How do you like the luminous popper rod? Would the x heavy be good for tunas and GTs?

[@jake-kj9ky]

that yellowfin fishing is unreal

[@EliasVFishing]

It spoils you quickly.

[@markkollman870]

Wish we would get a day like that out at the tower.

Step aside, Nat Geo, Elias is on the fish.

Wow

i bet it'd be fun to scuba, or even use an underwater drone in order to see what all is underwater

[@IsaacDS123]

Damn i was worried that penn sounded like its screws were coming undone....

[@tonyfernandez9180]

Great video! I’ve been looking to start throwing those poppers. What size reel and rod length/power would be ideal for that type of fishing?

[@ronkrauser1543]

Nice!

Thanks Elias

It’s a great short distance flat-water kayak!

I was just curious how much does the trip cost

[@haithamal-hashmi7135]

Awesome guys which country is this

[@EliasVFishing]

Panama

[@kevinkeiderling9505]

Looks like you had a good time. Too bad about the big fish would have been nice to see. Always good 👍

[@EliasVFishing]

Yeah who knows. Felt like a grouper head shake to me, but it wasn’t beat up enough so possibly a Jack or rooster.

[@charmainevandiford6622]

Don’t matter the place you are on it.

[@davidcarr4464]

The big mackerel was a Spanish not a Cero. Spanish have the spots, Cero more of a solid lateral line.

[@EliasVFishing]

Cool I didn’t know Panama had Spanish.

[@davidcarr4464]

@@EliasVFishing Yeah I’m not a fish biologist or anything but, i’ve been catching both Spanish and cero here in Florida for many many years. Shore looks like a Spanish to me. Cero have dash’s more than dots.

[@andreasspyrou7688]

I am a fisherman to, but using live bait this way is animal cruelty

[@slikisokus]

All nice and well, except that you should kill the fish humanely rather than let them suffocate! The meat would taste better too.

[@aggloagglo1134]

it's not fishing it's a butcher's shop 😡
