Caught my first Black Marlin, and... More

Hi Gary Thanks for the review, and thanks for being such a loyal guest. I love the club as well, which is why i bought it last May, rest assured that I have no intentions of making it into a huge resort, we may add a few more guest cabins, which will be even more luxurious, but we will never...

Just returned from a fishing trip at Panama Big Game Fishing Club. While extensive renovations are still in progress, this place is already first class and promises to get even better with ongoing upgrades in progress. The food & accommodations were both outstanding. Boats and equipment are being upgraded and the new owner seems totally committed to excellence. More
