The Explorer fished every day during Christmas week, and the barroom brawler peeled off a run of truly world-class results.

This big Striped Marlin caught by client Lance Miller was the highlight of the week for Captain Fico, but they also nabbed a second equally awesome Striped Marlin…great fish handling by Mate Elias saw to the safe release of both billfish.

The super panga also scored this lovely Sailfish release:

With a full slate of trophy releases on the scorecard, Captain Fico also filled the fishbox with these big Dorados.

Great finish to 2016 for the powerful Explorer!

Jake Smestad and his family came from Minnesota and clearly the blue waters off Nosara were a little better proposition than fishing over a hole in the ice.

Check out this monster Dorado scored by Jake on the Wanderer:

This whopper is one of the biggest Dorados of the season so far, and will certainly keep the posse fed for the week:

Our old pal Joe Driscoll is back for another fishing adventure; his group of friends mugged the fish last January, and now he has returned with his sons for more blue water action.

The highlight was this beefy Striped Marlin release, quite an accomplishment for a young angler.

Team Driscoll also filled the Harvester‘s fishboxes with a swarm or lovely Dorados.

All smiles for this great family of Jacksonville, FL anglers!

The Wanderer welcomed Jeff Berry and his group for a day of offshore action and scored a pair of big hard-fightin’ Sailfish.

These Canadian anglers conquered these blue water monsters like old pros, and Mate Johnson performed flawlessly in the safe billfish releases.

Hendrik and Maria Engel returned to Nosara for another round of fishing action. This family has fished with us since Christmas of 2013 and always seem to find big fish.

They got things started with a late-day Sailfish release on Christmas Day with Captain William on the Wanderer.

Nice start to a great week of fishing in paradise!

John Bottko enlisted the Discoverer for a full day on Christmas and brought the kids along for the trip to the meat market.

The battleship delivered four big tasty Dorados, then followed up with these small Wahoos, also called Wee-hoos:

Great work by Captain Carlos!

The Dorado bite has been strong in late December, and client Adam Klavon found out first-hand with this monster:

Great work by Captain William and the mighty Wanderer!

Jacksonville’s own John Bottko scored some major Sailfish releases on the Wanderer and made sure that all the kids got involved in the action.

After the safe releases they also nabbed some big Dorados for the dinner table.

The Wanderer welcomed Anita Howard and her group for a lovely day of inshore action. A sunrise this beautiful was a great sign for the day.

The highligh was this mammoth Rooster Fish release, but they also went home with some great filets from this array of reef creatures:

Great work by the mighty flagship and these North Carolina anglers.

Doc Hatton, Dennis Shanahan, Fred Lewis and Rick Downing had a great day with huge results on the mega panga Harvester. The day started with a true fish-of-a-lifetime…take a gander at this awesome Blue Marlin:

Great fish handling by Mate Kevin to ensure the safety of both fish and anglers. After the safe release, Captain Alex criss-crossed the area hoping to find more fired-up billfish.
