Sue Garcia and Beverly Lanier each scored nice Yellowfin Tuna on the Explorer. Both these fish should yield some excellent filets!

Captain Carlos and Mate Fico are fitting in nicely on the barroom brawler Explorer. Check out this floor-sweeper Dorado they snagged:
They also are no strangers to Sailfish releases. Take a gander at this monster:
Great performance from the unstoppable Super Panga!

Gary Fiveash and his party had a blast on the Explorer as Captain Carlos helped them tangle with the most broad-shouldered Dorado you’ll ever see:
For heaven’s sake this fish is wider than both the angler and Mate Fico!
They also scored this whopper of a Yellowtail Snapper on a top water plug…a very tasty catch to augment the Mahi.
Great work by Captain Carlos and the strong Super panga.

The Explorer struck back on May 15 with a fantastic Sailfish release by client Michael Williams. Check out this monster:
Excellent fish handling led to the safe release of this billfish as Captain Carlos notches his scorecard once again!

Blair Wickstrom stayed on the bite on his third day of fishing, scoring this excellent Cubera Snapper aboard the Explorer with Captain Carlos.
Whew! It’s a workout to catch this monster but at least you get 40+ of meat to replenish you strength. Great catch by the Super panga.

Our old pal Jay Thompson has been fishing on the Explorer since the inception of Super panga fishing, but on March 13 he let his visiting brother-in-law handle the fish catching duties. Captain Carlos took the Explorer offshore and found an amazing Sailfish.
Mate Fico had no problem handling this beast.
Later they added this small Broomtail Grouper to the fishbox. Excellent filets to go with the trophy release.

Joe Connell and Nan Dalton have fished each of the last 5 days, and on their final fishing excursion Captain Carlos and the legendary Explorer roped this excellent Sailfish.
Great work for just a half-day trip by the Super panga. Joe and Nan are truly hardcore anglers and their collective performance this week has been stellar.

Jim Dodich is a returning Hall of Famer and along with his buddy they snared an enshrinement-level Cubera Snapper with Captain Carlos on the legendary Explorer.
This is a serious fish…it takes serious muscle and a mean mug to haul in a fish like this.
Great work Captain Carlos!

The new combination of Captain Carlos and Mate Fico on the Explorer has already been impressive. Though new to this boat, both these men have fished in Garza for their whole lives with a combined 20+ years of pro fishing experience.
These Lone Star anglers enjoyed the fruits of that experience with three awesome Sailfish releases on just a five hour trip.
Excellent work from the new crew of the baddest panga you’ve ever seen: the fearless Explorer!

On May 7 the Explorer scored big with several Sailfish released.
With Captain David now on the 31′ Discoverer and Captain Carlos (now the Explorer‘s full time captain) welcoming his new baby home, Mate Fico and Mate Kevin were on board splitting the duties at the helm and in the cockpit.
We are proud to report that there was no drop off on the scorecard, and the Super panga did what she does: release billfish and deliver big smiles for her clients.
