Guyana March 2020

Due to the Corona madness we had to bug out 3 days early. I had concocted a plan for giant cats that would avoid the relentless black piranhas up to 6 lbs We got back to camp and got the bug out order so could not implement it.
Will write up more in the coming days. Highlight was a 200+ lb Arapima.

Damn. To have the trip cut short like that is a kick in the nuts.

Waiting for pics of everything.

Yeah my nuts hurts bad. Did go after sunset one night because piranhas stop in the dark. Had massive hits but no landings.

You don't catch arapima, you earn them. Wait till you see the pics of hauling a boat out the river and through the jungle to a lagoon.

Don't have as many pic because we were going to take more the next days. Fargging virus crap.

Still sounds like an amazing experience.

Wow! Can't wait to see the pics!! And yeah, the whole COVD19 crap really sucks!!!!

[Latimeria]

This COVID crap has just ruined so many things so far.  On a lighter note, I can't wait to see you and a huge Arapima!  I'm sure whatever pics you took are awesome.  I'm at least glad you got down there and had some experience!  It could have happened before your trip and you would have had nothing.

Super cool Jim.  I can't wait to see the pics!

Relentless bait thieves...



2 biggest cats I got.. Not the bite out of the last fin before the tail.

[spideyjg]

baiting up...Basically shark fishing stuff. We ate lots of peac*ck bass.

[sasquatch]

Like those red catfish.

[Latimeria]

Awesome Stuff Spidey!  Those are some great looking fish!

[jrodda]

Gnarly stuff. Awesome arapaima!

I've heard of some gringos losing fingers to the piranhas' knocking jaws, good to see a boga grip in your possession.
