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

... The tricky part is not cutting off the wrong bit ...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. stam

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.

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? don't turn into parker....it's not worth it 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.
