A well-told account, Stam. I would love to take a trip like this. Some very nice pictures to boot. I've never heard much about Panama scuba diving, but I have been to Costa Rica for diving, and that was fun.

Bimini knot's are easy to tie if you need a very secure loop knot. Even works well with braid. The tricky part is not cutting off the wrong bit ;\)

I think being single is working for Stam.... I never did figure it out the way you have.For some damn reason life gets in the way...My excitement is traveling to Washington how twisted is that? I have done some of that blue water fishing in Cabo, nothing to compare to yours but I can say ALL of those big fish kick your butt, pure adrenaline, thanks for posting sir...

...so you were there??? I did that in the practice session

I was so proud of my first working bimini...it doubles the strength of the last foot or so of your mainline above the swivel, I had attached the works and was ready to cast before I realized that I had not threaded my line onto the rod....it was just hangin' straight off of the reel. d'oh.

do-over.

Must have been too much sun? Locally bottled spirits? Off camera, raven-haired babe in a bikini that was your secret deck hand? One eye on that departing school of fishies off the stern?

I guess even Master Fishermen have a do-over every once in awhile \:\)

Loved this post stam. Hanging out down there with the entertaining likes of you and Vedder would be memorable!

It has taken me 3 days to get over my jealousy enough to say great trip and thanks for the pics and descriptions. I can't wait to hear the "real" story.

I was reviewing some video last night, I have one awesome clip that I will get to Sol? Parker? Bob?...or anybody that is closer to Enumclaw that knows how to post up on U-Tube, I know that there is some incredible trip video out there, but most of it is on other cameras.

My camera records onto those little miniDVD's...looks like I need to broaden my horizons and go techno geek now.

Or, if you want a *quality* movie, send it and my memory card to me. ;\) Might want to make sure you've downloaded all those photos off of the card, FIRST! Right, Dan?

No kidding. I'd be lying if I said being computer geek was all about the women, glamor, money, sex, and drugs.

Listen to what Mark says! Don't get a job and live with your parents until you are 50. It's the only way to go! Right Kid?

I'll second that. Parker has done me right on my BC footage.
