TOPWATER Fishing & Trolling At The World's Best Rated Fishing Lodge!
Fishing with topwater poppers and doing some live bait trolling in Panama at Tropic Star Lodge. Left the kayaks and hopped on a boat for the day to fish for whatever bites on the ocean. Wrapped it up with a little jigging as well.

My wife and I are staying at Come Fish Panama in July. I hope we get half the action y'all have had.
Luar biasa
Good captain, good fishing, definitely a lifetime experience.
Absolutely.
This series has been great Elias! It has finally cemented my desire to visit Tropic Star. Both this and the kayak portions so far have been really engaging! Thanks man, i really appreciate your work!
I liked the split of doing different fishing when I was tired.
I thought you were there for the snacks the first 5 minutes!
Very happy to fish again, very beautiful😊😊
The trip of a lifetime. Elias so glad you were able to make this trip. It has to be just amazing. If the water is beating you up I can't imagine what it would do to me. Great vids. Thanks
The tuna school was amazing!!! Thanks for taking us along…appreciate the experience!!!
I finally saw Elias from the 3rd person and why do we call him Elias????? He looks like Popeye, I always thought man it’s gotta hurt those arms in the yak!!!! Now we all know it’s Mr. Popeye!!!!!! I’ve seen him with his beach cameras before, but nothing like it looked with him sitting in that chair on the boat, fighting that monster!!!! “Popeye Elias” I vote that’s our buddies new nickname!!!
Thanks for taking us along on this adventure!
great x strike the baboon fish, really very enchanting,, greetings from a hobby from Indonesia 
Dude....I can feel that ache between your shoulder blades after a day like that. Great stuff, glad you got to make a trip like this. Beautiful scenery and wildlife, awesome willing fish. Thanks for taking us along!
The shoulder was certainly feeling it. Have a bad right shoulder.
@@EliasVFishing stem cell therapy dude, will do wonders.. Great video!
Here we have the Red Sea, one of the most powerful adventures from the beach🎉🎉🎉🎉
Loving this series bud. Great trip. Years ago when I worked at Gray,s taxidermy we did lots of business thru tropic star lodge.
Hope you had some good sashimi that evening! Thanks so much for sharing this trip with us.
I have been following this channel since 2017. I remember you having 10k subscribers. Then you moved to NC and took off. Love it.
Hello my old friend how you been nice amberjack and Jack 😮mackerel and yellow fins 🐟🐟👍
Wow looks amazing! Central America is a fishing Paradise
that's was a awesome day of fishing. awesome seeing them tuna feeding like that!!
Great fun just watching, Thanks!
Great video !! That's what Panama fishing is all about !!
Amazing video one of the best, great action!
Another great video. What a trip you are having!
That was epic. TY for sharing.
Awesome as always! Thanks for taking us along with you (virtually) Glad the wind was in cooperation because it's been blowing in VA for a month it seems. Good stuff
Much milder winds in Panama this time of year than any coastal state in the US
I’m in the Norfolk/Va.Beach area, fish the beaches and the wind and cool weather has been a bitch this May.
That is some awesome fishing, when those fish load up it’s crazy!!
Great video of your fishing adventure wish I could have been there with you Elias catching all those tuna!
Bro it's great to see this other side of you and your angling. I could see you hated that 50wide reel😂😂. Great stuff man, love it.
Show those guys how some mid-Atlantic tackle works! Great trip looking forward to summer flounder, reds, and trout!
2 of my favorite guys to watch
Good strike my friend 💪🏼🎣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Jeeez that was so epic!!!
Awesome videos! I live in your neck of the woods and hope to see you out on the water here soon!
What a trip! That looked mad fun
super fun to watch you fish
Dude, awesome segment. Yellow fin were popp'n
Awesome day out there congrats on the tuna
Looks like an awesome trip!
Excellent Catch
Fish paradise brother...🤙
Man, what a trip this has been so far
Amazing!
The long cast is an excellent reel! It's my go-to surf reel
Woow streak ikannya monster semua bos thanks 👍🙏🙏 from Indonesian
Great video! I’ve been looking to start throwing those poppers. What size reel and rod length/power would be ideal for that type of fishing?
Wauuu...amazing fishing 🎣 🤝🏽🎣
Awesome!
Awesome
Very nice fishing so big fish
He said pretty good day😂 sight casting to schools of tuna blowing up top water sounds pretty epic to me
Nice clean vid!
Awesome captain!! How do you like the luminous popper rod? Would the x heavy be good for tunas and GTs?
Good job brother catch big fish😁 catch fish my hobby👍👍
Video yang benar-benar sangat keren sekali bro, saya sangat senang dan terhibur melihat, sukses selalu bro
Fishing is fantastis sir
fun!
Let’s go!!!!!
Wish we would get a day like that out at the tower.
Waaww nice mister👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great action! Maybe one day before my body gives out, I’ll make the trip
*rotor cuffs have left the chat*😂awesome video my guy!
Nice!
Luar biasa kawan... Madina terpukau melihatnya.. salam🙏🙏🙏
Hello bro fish on!!!! New friend here I enjoy you fishing brooo yahooooo
Wow keren, strike teruss.. salam dari indonesia🇲🇨
topwater tuna!!
Epic…
i bet it'd be fun to scuba, or even use an underwater drone in order to see what all is underwater
this is what I like fishing kuwek greetings friends
that yellowfin fishing is unreal
It spoils you quickly.
Wow
Can you tell me what size slammers you’re using
We're blessed with some of the world's best fishing here in NC and all, but damn if that don't make someone wanna become an ex-pat in Central America....... Nice, brother.
Basically my thoughts as well! The other thing that stood out to me is how much milder the wind was for a week! So much more quality time on the water available. Consider getting two to three days of wind that cooperates to be decent in NC.
@@EliasVFishing Yeah, wind's killing me the last two years, but I've had some banner days in high wind so I guess I'll live with it, lol.
Any day of the week, that's "Hot Tuna" ... *fish-on* in Stereo! ... National Geographic couldn't do much better.
It looks like in the beginning of the video it shows the new Bonafide PDL kayak. How do you like that boat?
It’s a great short distance flat-water kayak!
I was just curious how much does the trip cost
Çrazy action
Thanks Elias
Dog I know workin the lure like that on that big ass rod had to blow your arm out 😂
🎣🤙🏼
Damn i was worried that penn sounded like its screws were coming undone....
Indonesia watching
Awesome guys which country is this
Panama
🤙😎
Looks like you had a good time. Too bad about the big fish would have been nice to see. Always good 👍
Yeah who knows. Felt like a grouper head shake to me, but it wasn’t beat up enough so possibly a Jack or rooster.
Step aside, Nat Geo, Elias is on the fish.
The big mackerel was a Spanish not a Cero. Spanish have the spots, Cero more of a solid lateral line.
Cool I didn’t know Panama had Spanish.
@@EliasVFishing Yeah I’m not a fish biologist or anything but, i’ve been catching both Spanish and cero here in Florida for many many years. Shore looks like a Spanish to me. Cero have dash’s more than dots.
Who are the other people on this trip?
Landshark Outdoors, Brook Crist, Ryan Morie & Sean Lawless
@@EliasVFishing Nice! I love Lawless Tide!
Don’t matter the place you are on it.
I bet ur tired: quite exciting.
Yeah it’s fun but a few all I need!
Dang son, how rich are you 😊
Not rich at all
@@EliasVFishing I was jus kidding, but I'm sure it wasn't cheap. Nice video man
I am a fisherman to, but using live bait this way is animal cruelty
All nice and well, except that you should kill the fish humanely rather than let them suffocate! The meat would taste better too.
it's not fishing it's a butcher's shop 😡
