Well worth the time and effot!!!
[font color="navy" face="comic sans ms" size="2"]Hey guys... I took the COP class recently in Guatemala and believe me it is well worth the time and effort.
[font color="navy" face="comic sans ms" size="2"]I was invited to attend by my fellow Guatemalans and it was sponsored by the Club Nautico de Guatemala ...it was a total success. The class was given by the IGFA's President Rob Kramer and the Conservation Director, Jason Schratwieser.
[font color="navy" face="comic sans ms" size="2"]...and we also we got two full days of fishing:
