Dan Johnson was back in the thick of the action again on January 19 with Captain Fico reporting a nice Sailfish release supported by magnificent Mahi-Mahi filets on ice.

Mate Jhonny slid over to the Super Panga for this trip and put his excellent fish handling on display.

Dan returned to the Explorer on the 21st and put a hurtin’ on this beefy Dorado:

Our great friend Dr. Bart Carey enlisted the battleship for a blue water mission on January 21 and the Discoverer did not disappoint.

This mini-Marlin was a fun fish to fight, and Mate Juan Carlos was very careful with the fish-handling. After all we gotta catch this guy again in a few years when it’s a mammoth.

They rounded out the trip with the release of a nice sized Sailfish and the filleting of beefy Dorado.

David White and the Harvester turned in a performance worthy of the FishingNosara Hall of Fame on January 18.

First up with this challenging Double Sailfish release, with Mate Kevin on the assist.

These were the first of five Sailfish releases on the trip.

The highlight came late in the day with this 200+lbs. Marlin Release.

Dan Johnson having fun again with his friends! The local legend was back in action on the 18th with Captain William on the Wanderer reporting four Sailfish releases backed up by a big Dorado.

Javier came along on this offshore hunt; the highlight was these challenging Double Sailfish hookups and releases.

 

The Dorado came late in the day and will definitely look good on the dinner plate.

Fantastic work by the mighty flagship Wanderer!

In mid-January the Harvester strung together several great results despite the presence of unusually high winds. The catch numbers went down a little but the billfish that were released are all monsters.

After this pair of nice releases the Mega Panga welcome Donald Ladenberger from the Sceptred Isle for a great day of action.

This Royal Navy veteran spun the guns on this Sailfish like the Bismarck, and Mate Kevin was there to play the role of Capt. Shepard.

Later in the week the offshore winds were just too much to bear so Captain Alex stayed inshore and kept the rods bent with Jack Crevalles and Dorados.

The next day the winds relaxed and the Harvester headed offshore for a couple of big Sailfish releases.

By mid-January the conditions were near-perfect, and Captain Alex was champing at the bit to get back into big-time blue water battles.

The day started quickly with two early Sailfish releases.

A third Sailfish hit the hook less than an hour later and once again the Harvester was up for the fight.

After the trophy releases they added a pair of swollen Dorados to the fishbox…pretty much the perfect end to a day on the water!
