Our great friend Vigil Russell fished with Captain David on February 15 turned in one of the most exciting scorecards we’ve ever seen from the Adventurer.

The 23-foot switchblade fought and leader-released a big Blue Marlin, and throughout the day performed several traditional releases of Sailfish.

They also scored a fantastic Rooster Fish release.

This is a triple-serving of world class trophy releases from the smallest boat in the bay…amazing perfomance from Captain David on a sure-fire Hall of Fame day!

Shane Whealton and his father joined Captain David on the 4th and posted one of the best days in the eight-year history of the Adventurer.

This amazingly large Rooster Fish release was the start of this legendary day, which also yielded one of the biggest Jack Crevalles we have ever caught.

 

The afternoon was dotted with small Tuna catches, highlighted by a pair of 20lbs. Yellowfin Tunas.

Captain David runs this boat alone (meaning no mate) which means the grisly work of fileting this boatload of fish falls to him.

Amazing haul by the 23-foot inshore assassin Adventurer.

Texas angler Mike Dickerson had a challenging day on March 7, but he and Captain David emerged victorius. In Mike’s words:

“HI Craig,

“Here’s a photo of the nice Jack Crevelle I caught Saturday fishing with David. Most of the day was pretty blown out with big wind waves and whitecaps moving against the swell, but I caught this fish during a short lull in the wind in the only relatively protected bit of water we found all day.”

“I did have one bite from what David was certain was a big roosterfish because it ate a big bait and was tearing line off the reel for about 15 seconds before he broke me off on a reef. So I didn’t get my roosterfish, but this was a nice consolation prize.”

“David worked his butt off all day, and I couldn’t have asked for a more heroic effort. Conditions were just very tough.”

“Thanks for accommodating me on this charter, and I’m happy to provide a very positive reference should you need it.”
