Panama is considered a paradise of sport fishing in its various forms inshore and offshore, in fact, one of the possible meanings of the word "Panama" is abundance of fish and butterflies. We have more than 250 fishing records worldwide, more than anywhere in the world, among the main saltwater species are sailfish, wahoo and marlin.

One of the main destinations for freshwater sports fishermen in Panama is Gatun Lake, an artificial lake created during the construction of the canal to serve as the main reservoir of fresh water in the country. And it is here, in Lake Gatun where I want to invite you, to experience a good battle with the world renowned Peacock Bass.  

To delve further into the experience of fishing a peacock bass or sergeant as we call it, I will refer you to one of the fishing trips I made with my friend Pedro Aguirre from Guatemala, who visited our country for a couple of days.

Panama has managed to position itself as a world-class sport fishing destination. It is that the same name of Panama originates in the indigenous language and means "abundance of fish".
