Our old pal George Kommick had a wonderful run of trips with Captain Fico from July 15 to July 18th. The first day they filled the refrigerator with a wide array of tasty filets.
The highlight of the week came with the capture and release of this high-flying Blue Marlin:
Estimated around 400lbs., this is clearly a memorable catch for this great angler.
A group of Lousiana-based anglers led by Jamie Garcia scored world-class billfish action on June 29. The leader of the pack was this 250lbs. Blue Marlin.

Kerry Wiggens and his family are the latest in a long line of great Texas anglers to conquer mighty billfish on the Discoverer.
After this awesome Blue Marlin release, they continued to score with an excellent Sailfish.
Harris ‘El Matador’ Savin came to Nosara early to get warmed up for the Ship of Fools Tournament, and on his first day fishing Captain Alex found him a fine sparring partner:
This Blue Marlin was every bit of 300lbs. and gave us an advance glimpse at Harris’ angling prowess.
Texas angler Brandy Willis brought her fun-loving group down to Nosara for an action-packed week of blue water fishing action.

Awww, shucks!
Fortunately the bite stayed good, as evidenced by this tasty Dorado for the dinner table caught by Dustin Purvis.
Our new friend Will Stein and his family performed brilliantly on the mega panga Harvester, highlighted by this awesome Black Marlin release:

Our long time friends Ken and Brenda Russell were back on the water for another great day of action on the Wanderer.
Several big Dorados got the action started early, and in the afternoon a fierce Blue Marlin hit the hooks.
Great work by Captain William to keep the fight short and excellent fish handling by Mate Johnson.

Pretty sweet for just a half day trip!
