The Pacific is the largest ocean and offers a wide variety of possibilities for popping & jigging. The coast along Central America has an abundance of tuna and inshore species like roosterfish. The best topwater fishing worldwide is probably around Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and the islands around it like New Caledonia. Here you can encounter world record sized GTs and dogtooth tuna.
