Nothing beats the feeling of casting to 80–100 lb tuna. Putting the right gear to the test: Rod: @blackholeusa Challenger Bank III Travel Series Reel: @daiwausa Lure @anglers_cr

Challenger Bank III 703UL Rod
5 keepers on the 703UL. Amazing rod, super sensitive, plenty of backbone to get the tog out of their rocky habitat, but sensitive enough to feel the slightest bite. Truly fishes like a one-piece rod. It's amazing.

Just wrapped up five days jam-packed with big fish and great times in Panama with the folks over at @panafishing who gave my buddies and I an experience of a lifetime. I was grateful to have access to a line-up of @blackholeusa rental rods, and I brought my two travel rods; photoed is a nice jack caught by swimming the Panafishing name through a feeding frenzy using a BH Challenger Bank III Travel 763 Rod. I have lots of great reports on the fishing and Black Hole gear used throughout the trip which will come over the next few weeks. For now, my biggest thank yous go to Dereck and his amazing family and staff, who own and operate this lodge off the tuna coast of Panama. From start to finish they were welcoming, accommodating, and just a damn fun time. Every question was answered, every request was fulfilled, and every goal was accomplished. All without mentioning the fishing being absolutely world class. I am counting the days till I get to come back and relish this amazing place again!
