A TRIP TO PANAMA CITY - FISHING GATUN LAKE

Our second day in Panama City, Greg and Matt enjoyed a fabulous day of adventure and fishing on Lago Gatún.  Catching and releasing between 30 to 50 peacock bass, seeing lots of howler monkeys, toucans, parrots, and even a crocodile made the day spectacular.  Lago Gatún is the reservoir that forms the middle section of the Panama Canal, so seeing these enormous ships moving through a jungle lake was an experience in itself.

When it starts to rain, just put on a trash bag!

So fascinating to watch the ships move through the canal!  While we were there they celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Panama Canal.

The highlight of the day was Matt catching 2 fish on the same hook.
