Testimonials:

“My husband has fished in many regions of the world but his passion for big game fish has brought him back to PBGFC over and over again. My husband has fished at Panama Big Game since 2010, before Trevor Gowdy and Guy Harvey featured them in their magazines and on Monster Fish!”

“I have fished at a number of resorts around the world and I’m convinced this is the best value for money fishing tour I have experienced.”

“A stunning location with views of the channel and distant volcanoes from the infinity pool and jacuzzi that are world class. Elegant and well appointed villas with big screen TV and internet access, coupled with great food and service in the clubhouse.”

“If you are unable to deal with first class (over-the top) food, accommodations and service then you might want to consider a different venue.”

“The highlight of our trip – swimming with a whale shark…and seeing the humpback whales and plenty of porpoises. It was an amazing trip!”

“The inshore dinosaurs were too much for any light tackle under 60lb. I caught five different species of fish in four hours and all of them were world class fish. But that was to be out done by the a 160lb. yellowfin tuna that hit while trolling skipjack, about 15 minutes later a 400lb. Blue Marlin struck with a quick battle to the boat and a nice healthy fish release!”

“I visited the club in January 2015 and was met on the city side by Aura, a wonderful woman with terrific personality and great knowledge of the city and history of Panama. When we got to David we were met by Alex the “unofficial Mayor of David” awesome guy who has great sense of humor and clearly perfect for the hospitality business.”

“Thanks for another great trip to Panama Big Game Club. My sons and nephew had a blast…the boys got 14 the first day all on topwater. 2 in the 15lb range, but 12 in the 40 to 50lb.”

“I am a boat owner myself, I have very extensive offshore fishing experience and have worked in the industry for many many years now. I can say that from the quality of gear, upkeep of boats, attitude of the crew and the hardworking nature of everyone involved, these guys are some of the best in the business.”

“Fishing and Relaxation”

5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 2015

Spent the 2 nod week of May 2015 here.
We were part of an organised trip of a group of 12, and we had our own personal group of 5, which quickly became assimilated. Impossible not to.
The lodge itself was fantastic.
Cabins each had 4 single beds with a luxurious lounge area, including a huge TV and stereo, why I’m not sure as it was never turned on!
The lodge had 5 boats, we utilised 3 per day between the group.
A pool that was just a godsend at the end of the day, and staff that ensured we never had an empty glass whilst in there.
The main lounge, dining room, and bar was extremely tasteful, and comfortable. Chef Eric with his irrepressible smile describing the 3 course meal he was about to present had our mouths watering.
The laundry basket at the entrance of the cabins was just so welcome, it was like magic, whatever went in there on a night, was washed and either hung in the wardrobe or folded on the lounge the next afternoon.
Arriving back at the wharf on a night and seeing the staff waiting with a cold wet towel and a cocktail was just so welcome and refreshing.
There are a couple of recommendations I would make, and it revolves around the fishing. If you are experienced anglers and boat operators, have a discussion with the skipper and deckie and ensure they understand that.
Also consider taking some of your own gear, mainly in the lighter scale, jigs, plastics, smaller lures.
The important test, would I return, Yes, definately
