Offshore Kayak Fishing for GIANT MAHI {CATCH CLEAN COOK} -- Panama | Field Trips with Robert Field

i ditched the corporate grind to pursue my passions for fishing and travel now i serve as a guest guide at los busos resort where i help kayak anglers figure out one of the most epic fisheries on the planet you're watching field trips with robert [Music] hello guys and welcome back to field trips panama we are here at los busos resort if you follow the show you know this place if not welcome my name is robert field i come here three times a year for a month each time to do some of the most epic offshore kayak fishing in the entire world we just had 12 clients show up tonight and in the morning we'll be going out fishing for the next five days in a row gonna be epic gals stay tuned you can you can bring up you can stop some big fish i don't know pretty alcoholic beverage does anyone want a virgin fruity yet good fruity drink freaking parade [Music] [Music] [Music] all right guys morning of day one with this new group of clients so we're just now starting to get all the clients down in the water we help everyone launch one at a time we got several first-timers here but they're gonna be fun we're used to that gotta get to work i get these guys launched but looks nice and calm today the wind's supposed to stay down stay light so we're gonna fish here out front now if the wind changes the weather changes we're gonna have two pongas out there and we can basically shuttle the entire group to a protected area and kind of two trips but so that our guides are more mobile instead of putting two guys in each panga we're gonna have three guides in the two pongas and i'm gonna go out in the kayak and really show these guys how to do these different techniques show them how to catch the fish out here run around film help catch bait and hopefully catch a couple fish myself [Music] derrick in the ponga just dropped down the jig one time and he slipped up something decent looks like all right we got a client hooked up right in front of vodka probably on a live moon fish i bet you that's the rooster oh oh big jack big jack nice nice yup fish on feels like another jack tons of jacks out here they're good bait man that's what the sailfish was caught on last week another jack of all the jig still small is that jimmy there's a ton of jacks down there it's a good place to have your bait you got a moon fish or what all those jacks should attract predators and your moon fish will look like a real easy meal because they're slow a bunch of fish underneath me hooked up i popped them that was my fault guys there's a bunch of bait here offshore of the east end of vodka on the surface a lot of them are follow meadows there are fish that they jellyfish they won't bite anything but a lot of times below them are blue runners so if you don't have a bait and you're over here you see the surface activity cast into it and let it sink a little bit i'm trying to trying to find vape for you guys something other than bonita another fish on the jig yeah another jack i'm still hoping there's something else mixed in with these guys down there just looking for something bigger sometimes you just gotta weed through the smaller fish the fish you don't want to catch there might be something else down there but jacks are super aggressive so a lot of times they'll get your jig or your bait first but there's a lot of jacks down there it's because they're eating bait if there's a lot of bait down there there's something else eating them almost guaranteed in the meantime these guys are a fun fight strong fish pound for pound not a bad way to kill an afternoon while soaking my bait i gotta live one of those guys out hopefully there's something around here eating them last week one of our clients bill hood to sailfish [Applause] and he hooked that sailfish on a live jack about the same size mine is so i'm kind of over here just hoping for a sailfish to swim through and hopefully find my jackets an easy meal since it's on a hook and kind of struggling on the outside of these big schools a free jacks we'll see just gotta be patient all right oh he's even got the right kind of cup that's what's up those business baristas are delivering some coffee all right so here are those business we try to take on the water client needs very seriously so we got coffee delivered to you directly on the water it only comes one way though black the right way got dolphins big pot of spinner dolphins coming through jumping going crazy and a lot of times the big tuna hunt with these dolphins there's probably some in the area and less like that they're gone they're moving real fast which is usually when the tuner are with them they combine the big pods and a lot of times a big 70 80 150 pound class tuna will be hunting with them they they eat the same prey a lot of times all right didn't get that name for no reason oh big jack all right try to bump the drag down once you got that in your hand put the drag down but not all the way and then [Music] 116 centimeters [Music] a lot of floating debris out here i'm surprised we're not seeing mahi all right we've got bill here from jersey just landed a yellowfin tuna on the bait rig super light tackle really impressive catch and that guy will be sashimi for appetizers tonight jimmy's got this close to the boat he's he's working to get a gaff in it right now action turned on hot and heavy here look at that you got it jimmy there it is got him got him nice not a bad start to the trip brother chad here from michigan with a yellowfin tuna what'd you get that on [Music] on gotcha man that's uh that's a universal bait works everywhere for everything oh yeah that's a dope man there we go pretty sure it's a jab but it might be a little too big for bait there's smaller ones down there better fish on the jig again oh jinx myself yep this feels more like bait you want to get your hook ready you can have this one i'm going to hook him through the nose yeah just watch your tip and your business brother can you uh head west and uh make sure you keep an eye on those guys or some guys out of sight [Music] fish on the jig i still got this little fish out not sure what it is marked a bunch of stuff from
