Craig was back on the Harvester for a mega Marlin day on August 13 with fellow angler Lloyd Michael.
The first Blue Marlin snagged two baits and was simultaneously hooked by Craig and Lloyd!
After a safe release by Mate Kevin a second Marlin entered the spread and fought bravely, spitting the hook after putting on a fireworks show next to the boat.
Awesome hunting by Captain Alex and the Harvester!
The Harvester found gold with Craig Sutton nabbing a 150+lbs. Yellowfin Tuna on August 12.
Craig casted for this monster over a pod of spinning porpoises and brought him home with an efficient 25 minute fight on a Penn Slammer spinning reel.
It’s rare to see a fish the Captain Alex can’t lift off the deck, but this one fits the bill.
Fellow anglers Kim and Lloyd Michael were on board and scored an excellent Sailfish release, plus added their own meat with a 50+ lbs. Dorado.
Great day on the Mega Panga!
More great catches reported by the Discoverer. On August 12 Captain Carlos reports this sweet Sailfish release backed up by a nice Rooster fish release:
Nice fishing from the battlship!
Kenneth Noonan had a very productive half day with Captain Alex reporting two sweet Sailfish releases for the Harvester.
The second fish was a real fighter, and put on a heck of a show above the water.
Great fish handling by Mate Kevin for safe releases all around.
Mark and Kimberly Sechelski performed wonderfully on the big battleship Discoverer on August 8 with this excellent Sailfish release.
Masterful work by Captain Carlos on the catch and Mate Juan Carlos on the release.
Plenty of big smiles on the Discoverer!
Dean McPhearson and his crew joined the Wanderer for an offshore hunt and scored a pair of wonderful Sailfish releases on their 6.5 hour trip.
ย
The first release was a monster, and the second was nothing to sneeze at either:
The Wanderer welcomed fun-loving Texans Harold and Cindy Derby and their friends Eugene and Pam Patton for an exquisite day of action on August 6.
Lots of great Sailfish action was reported by Captain William.
Fred Schroder scored the fish of a lifetime with Captain Alex on August 6. Take a gander at this MASSIVE Black Marlin:
The Harvester backed this monster down aggressively to keep the fight short and sweet; a benefit to both fish and angler.
Later in the day they also released a big Sailfish:
Amazing work by Captain Alex and Mate Kevin on the Harvester.
The Discoverer is equally adept at conquering inshore trophies as she is fighting big billfish…check out this memorable Rooster Fish release caught just a few miles from shore.
Truly a bucket-list caliber catch from the big battleship!
Rusty McClain, our new friend from Texas, stayed inshore on the 4th and boated a HUGE Cubera Snapper.
Tasty Snapper filets coming right up, along with a side order of sandwich-sized Dorado:
