Tammi proved to be a great addition to our May 2024 trip to Panama. She’s remarkably enthusiastic about fishing and the outdoors. She also made a new connection with another lady angler on the trip when they tag-teamed a monster yellowfin tuna.

Our May 2024 trip to Sport Fish Panama Island Lodge was filled with big fish…really really big fish. Our new friend Greg Evers singlehandedly tamed a yellowfin tuna that pulled the scale down to almost 250 pounds. Greg is a big guy, but still, no one would have blamed him if he’d asked for assistance.

During our most recent trip to Panama, I had the thrill of watching my friends Lisa Vicars and Tammi Hill reel in a 180 pound yellowfin. They’re both petite but in good shape, which proves that it’s not about sheer mass, but rather technique and willpower.
