Jason Stote tipped the scales on the 24th with potentially the biggest Yellowfin Tuna of the season.
This monster was followed up by several other big Yella Fellas, which on many other days would be the big fish in the box.
Later on the hooked up a nice Sailfish for a fun battle.
Check out the Wanderer keeping an eye on the fight in the background.
Both of these sweet billfish were safely released as always.
The Discoverer kept up her hot streak with an excellent round of catches on the 24th. The highlight is clearly this BIG Yellowfin Tuna:
Sailfish also cruised into the spread and ended up safe released as always after a vigorous duel.
The Discoverer scored big with Joel Smith and his family. Check out this MASSIVE Yellowfin Tuna!
Amazing work by Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin to overcome this monster.
The Harvester and angler John Baumgart scored the first big haul of the season for Yellowfin Tuna.
We have scored scattered Yellowfins this year, but not this big or numerous.
This is a great sign of the second high season which is right around the corner.
The last fish of the day was also the last fish ever for this rod which snapped off under pressure…that’s what happens when you battle the world’s baddest fish!
However the fish didn’t fare much better than the rod:
Wanna skip Sea World? Check out this pod of Orca playing around with 32 foot Harvester. You never know what you’ll see offshore of Nosara…Great to see these beauties in the wild.
After this fun nature sighting, the Harvester got down to business with Craig Sutton and Rodger Dwork reporting excellent fishing results.
These Dorados are a treat, but nothing compared to these big swole Yellowfin Tunas:
Great work by Captain Alex and the Mega Panga.
The Harvester welcomed FishingNosara Hall of Famer and Northeast FishingNosara Representative Mark Cooney for an excellent day of catching on the 12th.
BIG Yellowfin Tunas put the mega panga (and her tackle) to the test. Look at this rod-snapping catch:
The Harvester‘s “Never Surrender” attitude was on display at this 40+lbs. Yellowfin managed to break a rod, but not break the mega panga’s spirit.
Later in the day the fish got bigger for Team Cooney.
With tons of Yellowfin Tuna on ice, the ocean changed it up and providedย lovely Dorado scores.
Fantastic work by Captain Alex and the Harvester!
The Explorer finished off the month with angler Brian Messerich reporting a BIG Yellowfin Tuna backed up by a nice Dorado.
All of this on just a 5 hour trip…imagine the back-breaking load of filets they would score on a full day!
Carlos Fonts and his group reigned supreme over a swarm of big Yellowfin Tunas on August 21. Take a look at these beasties:
These tasty scores are all between 50lbs. and 80lbs.
Awesome work by Captain Alex and the mega panga!
Stephen Paul Green joined the Discoverer on the 20th and scored one of the biggest Yellowfin Tunas of the season…clearly the second high season is is full effect!
According to the sling-scale, this monster weighs 112lbs.! Great work by Captain Carlos and the big battleship.
Patrick and Jennifer Humphrey and their group (Donald Gibbs, Dominic Miller, Brittany Marie) knocked the Yellowfin Tunas out of the park on August 11 with three monster catches.
The ladies got in on the action as well.
These monsters weighed in at 75lbs., 31lbs. and 25lbs.
Big smiles and big fish for this group of Florida-based anglers.
