Eric Dixon continues his dominance of the blue water with a monstrous Marline release reported on November 28 by Captain Carlos on the Discoverer.
Estimated at 250lbs.-300lbs., this beast was safely released by Mate Juan Carlos so we expect to catch her again once she gets even bigger.
Later in the day the Dixon boys pulled of an awesome Double Sailfish release, once again featuring expert fish-handling by Juan Carlos.
The Explorer welcome Harold Middleton for a half-day of blue water action on November 27 and Captain Fico delivered this goods with this wonderful Sailfish release:
All smiles all around on the barroom brawler!
Our old pal Eric Dixon is back in Nosara and he scored several Sailfish releases on the first of several days fishing on the Discoverer.
This Colorado-based angler is a hardcore fisherman and we expect great action for him this whole week.
Off to a great start!
Captain David staying inshore on the Adventurer and snagged a beautiful Snapper and a big Amberjack with client Britni Nelson. Check out the picture-perfect sunset over Garza:
Great end to nice day of fishing!
The Explorer got in on the hot Yellowfin Tuna action with a bevy of big Yella Fellas scored by Craig Sutton and Javier Hernandez.
Mmmmm…looks like Sushi tonight at the Nosara Paradise Rentals campus!
The battleship Discoverer broke the ice for the team with the first Marlin release of the season on November 24 with client Delton Hollmann.
Great work by Captain Carlos and Mate Juan Carlos on this beautiful billfish release!
Wayne Estes and Samantha Shaw scored big on their first day of fishing on the Discoverer.
This hard-fightin’ Sailfish was the highlight of the trip:
The Wanderer continues her consistent fishing with a nice Dorado and a Sailfish release.
Unfortunately this Dorado managed to snap one of our rods, but you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.
Nice work by this fun fishing family!
The barroom brawler Explorer scored a nice array of Yellowfin Tuna with client Joseph Lyman.
These tasty morsels make great filets and of course excellent sushi. Great work by the super panga!
Master angler Waynes Estes just shattered our record for largest Yellowfin Tuna catch. This MASSIVE monster easily weighs in over 150lbs.
Even more impressive is that Wayne caught this beast on a spinning rod!
The bite came late in the day, and the fight continued into the dark.
Finally First Mate Alex got the monster on board…at first we only had these low-light phone pics of the monster:
Then Captain William saved the day by sending along his full-color shots, where you can see this Yellow Submarine in all it’s might!
Wayne also caught an 80lbs. Yella earlier in the trip, which on any other day would be the highlight of the trip:
