Oriental Bonito

Oriental Bonito will be a fun and exciting catch on your next sports fishing trip in Panama!

These things really scream line off the reel when they hit. They mix in with our regular bonito (little tunny) but hit and pull a lot harder. They look and act like a cross between Bonito & Wahoo. They have white meat and teeth. And like everything with fins and swims in the ocean, good to eat.
