Mike LaRocca and his friends tore the fish out of the water with the 23-foot pocket knife Adventurer.

Each of these three folks nabbed a Yellowfin Tuna, so there should be plenty of filets and sushi to go around.

Great work by the switchblade.

Javier scored a HUGE Snook today at the Nosara River Mouth! Estimated at just over 30lbs., this is one of the biggest lunkers of the season so far for the Fuppernos.

The whole beach stopped what they were doing to get a picture with the behemoth.

Great work by Javier (aka Rey Robalo) on this fantastic catch!

Boca Raton’s own Jim Baldwin signed up for 6.5 hours on the Adventurer and his investment of time was paid dividends of filets.

The hits came hard all day long, with the size of this Dorado and these Yellowfin rivaling the catches on the big boats.

We’ve said it a thousand times, but the big fish don’t care if you have a big boat…great work by the 23-foot switchblade.

Captain David’s rampaging ways have continued this week on the Discoverer. The hits have come in fast moving waves, like this pair of wonderful Sailfish releases.

The new battleship also picked up a pair of Rooster fish which were released as usual.

Great work by Captain David!

Steve Mullen is a tough-as-nails angler from Atlantic Beach, FL and a lifelong friend of Craig, even once serving as First Mate on the legendary Fishtastic.

One year Craig and Steve fished 15 major tournaments, so it’s no surprise that Steve signed up for 5 straight days of fishing in Costa Rica.

At long last he and his family have made it down to Nosara and they blistered a wide variety of inshore species with Captain Carlos on the barroom brawlin’ Explorer.

Yellowfin Tunas were abundant as well as an array of Rock Snappers, but the highlight was this monster Rainbow Runner:

The IGFA World Record for this species is 37 lbs. 9 oz., caught back in 1991 by angler Tom Pfleger…all I can say is good for Tom that we don’t have and IGFA approved scale down here!

Captain Carlos also coaxed in the first Congrio of the season (left):

This oddball combination of eel and fish yields a Lobster-like filet that is arguably the best tasting thing to come out of the ocean.

This crew had a blast and we can’t wait to see them again!

Katrisha Seata blew into town for one night, stayed at Nosara Paradise Rentals and went straight to Garza for a full day of fishing on the battleship Discoverer.

The elected to stay near shore and check the bottom for reef-dwellers, and were rewarded with this mammoth Rainbow Snapper:

They also scored on Yellowfin Tuna and small Dorados.

Nice haul from the fish market by Captain David and the Discoverer.

With all this billfish releasing going on, the Good Doctors almost forgot to get something to eat! Fortunately they snagged this big Dorado:

This is sure to feed these big eaters for the duration of their trip…excellent hunting by the famous Wanderer.

While Chuck and Rick were battling two Marlins over on the Wanderer, the rest of the Good Doctors put in big work on the battleship Discoverer. The highlight was this MASSIVE Black Marlin which took both Mate Keven and Mate Fico to subdue.

The followed-up with a nice Sailfish release and a couple of tasty Yellowfin Tunas.

Great work by Captain David on another legend-building performance.

Earth-Shattering moment on the Wanderer today as the Good Doctors pulled off a simultaneous Double Marlin Release! We have pulled off several Double Sailfish releases in the past and a few memorable Marlin/Sailfish doubles, but this marked the first true Double Marlin release of the season so far.

To describe the moment of the strike as ‘chaotic’ is an understatement; the skill of Captain William to keep these high-flying monsters from getting tangled only trumps First Mate Alex’ fish-handling skills.
