In Episode 76, our host, Captain Ricky Wheeler, talks with Shane Jarvis, the Owner and driving force behind Sport Fish Panama Island Lodge. In this episode they dive into one of the most diverse fisheries on the planet - Panama. From offshore big game species like Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, yellowfin tunas, dorado, wahoo, and more to the inshore fishery of snapper, grouper, jacks, roosterfish and everything in between that makes Panama such a special destination for serious anglers. 

Shane also pulls back the curtain on what it really took to build a world-class sportfishing lodge on a remote island. From the early challenges and risks to the vision, grit, and execution that turned it into what it is today. This episode isn’t just about fishing, it’s about adventure, entrepreneurship, and chasing a dream in one of the wildest fisheries out there. If you love saltwater fishing, remote destinations, or stories of building something from the ground up, this is one you don’t want to miss.
