New from Congo/Panamá

[Mort Hill]

Thank you all!

Am originally from France and my family moved to the Congo Brazzaville when I was 1,5 year old. Grew up here, learned to hunt and to spearfish here also.

Regarding the spearfishing of yellowfin tunas, I mostly hunt them by spotting porpoises and diving in front of them. We tried chumming but it rarely works in Panama, food is plentiful for them and chumming with anything not alive is rarely productive. For the aficionados, I have an IG account: @thepelagicshannibalbank

I can not imagine swimming with these giants, especially in the schools I have witnessed where we annually fish in Feb on the Pacific just north of Panama at Zancudo Lodge in Costa Rica. Our original long weekend of fishing has now years later turned into a week. We mainly fish for sailfish, and those beautiful yellowfin. This was our big fish, a real cow at 205lbs, that was caught by a first timer Cajun friend. The two of us with him, along with the Captain, ribbed him that he only had a 30 pounder on an to quit making so much drama. To our surprise, he landed the fish in 45 minutes.

Hunting this morning with pygmies. We saw several duikers and one gennette (spotted cat) reacting and closing when we were calling.

Here is my lovely Peter’s duiker
