Fishing trip to Gatun

I had to post this story about our fishing trip to Gatun Lake on Saturday. First off it was a great day fishing. Bryce and I went with our friend Justin Peterson and his son Bridger on his boat. I caught three good size fish and had a total of around 40 fish that we kept. The interesting thing that happened was that we were stalked by a croc (Caiman) for around 2 hours. Every where that we went the croc would follow us. He was not scared at all and never once did he submerge himself because he was scared of us. We feed him a couple of the little fish that we caught and he chowed down on them. At one point we even went around 300 yards accross the lake and not 20 minutes later here he came slowly strolling right up to the boat. It was the most amazing thing. At one point he got within a foot of the boat. We also saw another 5 or 6 other croc's swimming around while we were fishing. Here are a few pictures of the event.
