FISHING THE PACIFIC 



and this species also is taken in Panamanian and Colombian 

 waters. 



Robert Heurtematte, Panamanian Ambassador to the 

 United States, is a great sports enthusiast who Hved in the 

 United States for many years. He is a graduate of Yale Uni- 

 versity, class of 1933, and one of my best friends. He has been 

 highly instrumental in pushing the fishing and getting it going 

 off the Canal Zone. 



I am confident that with the El Pacifico Hotel in opera- 

 tion—and you won't find a better one anywhere: marvelous 

 cool rooms looking out over the Pacific entrance to the canal, 

 perfect food and good golf and tennis nearby— that from 

 now on people will be attracted to this spot for a variety 

 of reasons and many of them will try the fishing. 



At any rate, here's hoping that a thousand black marlin 

 will soon be taken oif Panama.
