The Harvester and angler Chris Kilgore battled an amazing Marlin on August 13.

Chris posted after the catch:

“So grateful that Captain Wilson got this video! It was a Black Marlin, the biggest, fastest Marlin species.”

“Harvester first mate Gerardo grabbed the leader (3 separate times) = legal release. We landed and released that big mama according to the rules and she’s still out there.”
“I’m sure she’s fine but I’m still sore. Biggest fish of my life, estimated at 500 lbs, at least 14 ft long. Fought her for 1 hr 20 minutes. Thanks to Wilson, Gerardo, and the whole crew at Fishing Nosara.”

Dan Johnson from Hatteras, NC celebrated his 60th birthday with his family fishing on the Wanderer and Discoverer.

The birthday boy himself was on the Discoverer overseeing a big haul of meatfish; big Dorado and multiple Yellowfin Tunas.

They also moved inshore and pulled up some tasty Red Groupers.

The Wanderer stayed rail-to-rail with the Discoverer, and the other half of the Johnson family scored several super billfish releases.

The Wanderer scored their own pile of filets with multiple Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas on ice.

The Wanderer‘s scorecard was highlighted by a 450lbs. Black Marlin release and two Sailfish releases.

All billfish safe released as always.

They celebrated with a family birthday dinner at Marlin Bill’s.

Happy B-day Dan!

GRAND SLAM ALERT!!!!!

FishingNosara Hall of Famer Sloan Rogers has struck again! This wonderful Blue Marlin/Black Marlin/Sailfish release day is truly one for record books:

Captain Wilson has found his footing at the helm of the People’s Champion Harvester.

Sloan Rogers is already booked to be on the Harvester for the upcoming Ship of Fools Tournament in late-March, and if he can duplicate this kind of performance then all the other boats will be fighting for second place.
