It cartwheels wildly before crashing back into the lagoon. I jab the rod back hard and the big tucunare clambers up into the blinding white light of the jungle. Suddenly, a vivid flash of olive, gold and scarlet and then a nerve-shredding implosion bursts through the glossy waters of the lagoon. Wiping the sweat from my brow, I tuck the steely ten weight rod under my arm and work the big popper back hand over hand, watching it gurgle and sputter provocatively across the dark, tannin-stained water. I send the big surface popper skimming low under the rainforest’s thick emerald canopy and watch the big topwater fly splash down into the inky shadows beneath the trees.
