was an epic battle epic battle all right let me get pictures that was video oh it's okay it's okay ah speech foree [Music] experience lost all my PO [Music] and I lost the small ride oh Noh yeah sorry about that I mean I got it all on video If it makes you that's an epic story to tell I know it was an expensive one brother I'm sorry we got plenty of lures though I got you can use all my personal stuff whatever you need don't don't worry about that I mean at least for the next two days bro that was an epic battle like one of the most epic battles with the rooster I've ever watched dude he was trying to get you in the Rocks like I got that whole thing on video I'll give you all the footage bro that was [Music] epic like nice work dude that rooster was fighting hard I've seen bigger roosters not pull that hard that thing was was trying to hurt you bro oh my God you guys one of the most epic battles of the rooster fish I've ever seen Jabari here handled it like a champ that thing was pulling his kayak backwards put spinning him in circles drug him to the Rocks he had to loosen his drag and pedal out multiple times absolutely insane fight he landed the fish himself Everything went perfect despite the challenges and then he was holding up for the photo and the kayak flipped it's just a lot of weight your center of gravity goes up unfortunately you lost a GoPro and a rod and a bunch of Jigs and poppers and lures in the process but the other boat they're going back to camp to grab a mask and they're going to do some diving here see if they can recover any of it so kind of a heartbreaking in but jabari's going home with a hell of a story to tell that was wild that fish was trying to kill him and he handed it all perfectly and then there after the Finish Line tragedy struck but that's one hell of a story that's a story I'll be telling to Future clients that was wild the whole thing you fought that thing like a boss dude that was sweet to watch that was wild I was getting real scared man you were close to that those rcks first time on a kayak yeah first first big fish from a kayak he's ever fought and he uh he got The Full Experience on that one holy Lo hi we fishing now boys ready down for theight all right well fun little warm-up session here at Campo Boos just throwing some light lures small lures around the Rocks tons of different species came up tomorrow we're going to go we're going to Mothership The Kayaks to like one of these spots and be going after Giants but now we're back at Camp we're going to cook up some grub I think tonight we're going to cook up these fish we caught the Snapper uh two species of Snapper we got three of those and an African pompo we're going to cook those up about to figure out how we're going to do it kind of get organized for a fishing trip tomorrow but great little start to the trip tons of fun everyone caught some fish we're just out here enjoying Paradise now [Applause] [Music] Bo [Music] [Applause] honest for those [Applause] [Music] PL [Music] [Applause] [Music] ni [Music] [Applause] [Music] forign [Applause] [Music] [Applause] it is look the chicken wings too they're small because they're not pumped up with hormones they're growing got some ponas going down twice fried plantains so you fry them and then you smash them and then you fry them again now traditionally well I guess traditionally you would use a rock we're kind of getting back to Tradition at the lodge we use utensils don't worry you sanitize The Rock wor you that's shs that's a lie see R flavor yeah little sea salt no I [Music] don't twice fried plantains one okay so good s boy so plantains when they're ripe when they're yellow they're sweet we use the green ones and it's kind of starchy it's like a potato almost this will basically replace french fries on your plate and for me way better than french fries smashed with a rock here on the island it's been smoothed out by the ocean got a little bit of sea salt flavor naturally so good I'm going go grab some fish forgot you use this to a table in this in this seat cool cuz it's hot yeah that looks hot they actually took a table here they brought one yeah right here uhoh what I do with my wine oh yeah we just left it your wine back here I think that's mine didn't you have a green one oh look yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah is it dirty I think it's got coconut on there's some floaters but it's wine so I'm going to drink it you kidding me forgot we've also got some fish stew made out of boila out of Alo Jack that the group left us Morris made some fish stew before he left fish soup with some rice same we I see I don't know how I'm going to eat oh [ __ ] look at all the fish when you don't fillet it you leave it on the bones and then pick it off the bones and comes off in these really easy Sheets if you score it you don't have to worry about the bones at all comes off in these nice little pieces still got the skin on there all the flavors in the skin it's crispy salty fantastic the panamanians always look at us like we're idiots when we fet our fish and once they start eating this way I get why wow fantastic we just made like a 100 ponas I thought we were going to have leftovers Victor just asked me if I want the last two I'd say the clients like it fish is phenomenal doesn't get any fresher was swimming about an hour and a half ago out here with no kitchen just living good eating good I'm Shoveling it in so good how was this soup was it good flavor really good yeah I got to try it so this one's the rock Snapper which we don't normally we would not fry this hole back in Civilization cuz it can be a little bit tough but honestly it's it's almost like chicken with the skin on there it's really good I like that that's a good camping meal
