Day 2 – TUNA TUNA TUNA

Great first day of the tournament!! While the Panamanian sunshine didn’t want to come out – the fish did! The day started at Montuosa, where the yellowfin tuna and spotted dolphin put on quite a shot. Skip Hoagland hooked up quick to a 90+ fish and TJ quickly cast out to land a 130lb yellowfin. TJ was using his OTI Tuna Sniper rod and OTI Wombat Chugger popper. That Wombat is the popper of the tournament thus far!

Throughout the day everyone was hooking up on poppers. Fish were mainly from 40-80lbs. Enjoy – more again tomorrow!


Heading out – first day of competition!
