In this episode, we sit down with CJ Martin to talk about his experiences with international fishing trips. CJ tells us about our he found Lake Baccarac on a fishing trip with friends and the Lake Baccarac Lodge in Mexico. He was immediately hooked (pun intended). Since that first trip, he has gone back many times, at this point, multiple times a year. He tells us what is different about the fishing there and what you can expect. If you are not all in on fishing, these trips are not for the faint of heart. You are on a boat fishing for 12 hours a day on most days. During these trips, he has made many good friends, and this year they put together a big trip to go fishing in Columbia. They were at a riverside lodge deep in the Amazon. CJ explains that the big catch there is the peacock bass, a species of freshwater cichlids. His largest catch on the trip was a 19.5 lb fish, and he hopes to beat it on his next trip. We also take a deep dive into swimbaits and learn about some of CJs favorites.
