A few days in Banco Hannibal

Hi all,

We went a few days check out for the tunas in Hannibal Bank, Panama and surrounding... a bit too early, we got one chance on a YFT school, but only small ones.
For the members in need of sun and warm water, here is a vid and a couple of pics.

That looks fun diving through a vortex of fish like that and shooting Cuberas!

So so sooo sweet! I love being in spots were your only chance at shooting pargo is going to their caves, shooting them, and wrestling them out. That was a toad huachinango too!

Some other pics, in a place where plankton was seriously blooming... it was like diving in fluorescein... We found a couple of nice goliaths and stayed with them for some time.

Re: A few days in Banco Hannibal

Back to Hannibal and surroundings... This time I was lucky enough to see and land my first two yellowfin tunas (30 and 40 pounds). I saw a few bigger ones, but the water was not very clear. Seeing them at a last moment, I had a few misses before and after spearing these two.
