In this episode of BlacktipH, we travel to Tropic Star Lodge in Panama, where I got to swim with a 30ft Whale Shark on the first day of our expedition. Our crew traveled to the lodge with Guy Harvey and researchers to conduct important scientific documentation of the local fisheries. Tropic Star is in a very remote location in the Jungles of Panama. We had to take a plane, a bus ride, and finally a boat ride to reach the lodge. Once we got to Tropic Star Lodge, we rested and prepared for the following day. On the next day, Guy Harvey, Martin (Guy’s friend), and our crew headed offshore to search for black marlin. After filling our tuna tubes, we started trolling for marlin. It didn’t take long to get our first bite, and it was a big sailfish! Later in the day, Guy spotted a whale shark swimming on the surface. I got the opportunity to jump in the water and swim with the massive 30ft animal! This shark was so massive, it literary felt like I was swimming with a dinosaur! Time slowed down when I was in the water with this giant shark! We finished the day off tagging and releasing several dorado (mahi-mahi or dolphinfish). Later that day, Guy and I had fed the fish at the dock and helped two anglers take photos of their massive yellowfin tuna!
