Panama City - Saltwater Fishing Report

It was a long day, but a good day! Tal Mcalister got to see and feel the power of the Silver King...Twice! We had 4 hook-ups. First fish( about 100lbs.)

was on for 30 mins and finally shook the hook. Our second fish was a giant. I call it over 175 lbs.

It was the biggest in a string of 6 and it was twice as big as all the other fish. It finally chaffed off of 60lb. flouro after 1hr. 25mins. Biggest fish I have hooked all year. For the afternoon I had Barron Bogatto by himself. He wanted some table fare and this is what we did. Not bad for one man on a 4 hr. trip.

Oh yeah, we released some kings too.
