Captain Alex brought the month of January to a magnificent close with client Jason Smith reporting big Sailfish releases:
The highlight of their double-digit release day with this Double Sailfish release executed by Mate Kevin:
They also nabbed a tasty Mahi-Mahi for the fishbox.
Excellent work by the mega panga!
Alkis Kourkoulos scored the fish-of-a-lifetime with Captain Fico on January 30. This monstrous Black Marlin was no match for this Clearwater, FL-based angler.
Safely handled and released by new Mate Elias.
Wonderful work by the barroom brawlin’ super panga Explorer!
Captain Carlos kept the good times rolling with client Deena Ewert scoring several sweet Sailfish releases.
Later in the day the Discoverer moved inshore and scored this whopping Amberjack:
Remember that Pacific Amberjacks are good to eat (unlike their Atlantic brethren) and I’d bet that some tasty ceviche is in Deena’s future.
Bill Elm had a terrific day with Captain Alex on the Harvester with lots of Sailfish releases backed up by some fat Dorados.
An early Sailfish release about 5 miles from shore set the tone, then the first big Dorados came through the spread.
More rowdy Sailfish came calling in the afternoon, but Bill and the boys were ready for them.
Great fish-handling as always by Mate Kevin.
The Harvester has already shattered expectations and we can’t wait to see what she will do next!
Rich Lippo continued his hot week of fishing with a boatload of Sailfish releases with Captain Carlos and Mate Juan Carlos.
Check out the size of these beauties!
Safe releases all around makes certain we’ll see these monsters again soon.
Returning client Bill Elms joined Captain Alex for a full day of action which included several Sailfish releases backed up a big dinner-time Dorado.
Tasty filets on deck for Bill!
Rich Lippo wanted to give the new Harvester a whirl, and was rewarded with a big day of Sailfish releases care of Captain Alex and Mate Kevin.
Great work by the Mega Panga!
The Discoverer scored big with four Sailfish releases on the day.
Great work Mate Juan Carlos on the safe releases.
The Harvester had the biggest day of her short career on January 27 with 11 Sailfish releses, including a Triple Hookup / Double release:
What a day for clients Greg Tilley along with Laura and Todd Horton…it certainly didn’t take Captain Alex long to get the Mega Panga dialed in!
Here’s what the clients wrote on Facebook:
“Fishing in Costa Rica is awesome! If you every get the chance…..GO!!!! We doubled up twice and tripled once. Caught a total of 20 sailfish on 30 bites. It takes a pretty good captain to get 3 sailfish to the boat at the same time and released”
“The first triple for thie Harvester. (landed and released all three fish) We also had two doubles (2nd & 3rd for Harvester)and the 1st time getting the 2 fish pictured together. Captain Alex and mate Kevin did an awesome job and I highly recommend them if you ever get to fish in Costa Rica.” – Greg Tilley
“Alex and Kevin are the ticket! Great captain and mate combo! Keep up the good work!” – Todd Horton

Captain William kept the pedal to the metal with client Dan Liebman snagging several Sailfish releases on the 27th.
