The Discoverer welcomed back returning client Paul Worthington for a nice day of Yellowfin Tuna conquering. Check out this beastie:
Later in the trip Donna Bowler caught 40lb Dorado pictured with her husband Steve.
Then Paul finished off the trip with a 250lb Blue Marlin.
Fantastic job by Captain Carlos on the big battleship!
Our buddy Greg Henry scored the fish of a lifetime on the Discoverer as Captain Carlos reports the release of this sweet Blue Marlin, estimated by Mate Juan Carlos at 300lbs.
They also added a Sailfish release and a 30lbs. Yellowfin Tuna on ice. Great fishing from this Hudson, FL angler!
They also add on this nice Sailfish release:
Fantastic day by the mega panga Harvester with client Greg Henry reporting a wide variety of great catches. The early strikes were these nice-sized Yellowfun Tuna. and big Dorados:
Very strong fighters (see the broken rod) and great tasting filets!
Then they released two strong Pacific Sailfish:
They topped off the day with this beautiful Blue Marlin!
Great work by Captain Alex and the Harvester.
June 14, 2016 marks the first time in the seven year history of the FishingNosara team that Marlin releases were scored by every team boat.ย

The Discoverer leads the team in Grand Slams this year, and on May 21 close to notching the scorecard with another one.
Joined by client Jennifer Engle, Captain Carlos nabbed two Blue Marlins, and two Sailfish.
For good measure they also added a Dorado for the dinner table.
Fantastic work by Jennifer Engle and the Discoverer.
Also our buddy Eric Dixon scored the finest feat in all of fishing: Billfish Grand Slam!
To the laymen that’s a Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, and Sailfish on a single trip.
Great work by Captain Carlos, Mate Juan Carlos, and the battleship Discoverer!
The battleship Discoverer kept the coals burning with Jackie Powell’s group on February 13. Check out this awesome Blue Marlin:
Amazing work by this fun-loving group!
Hendrik and Maria Engel continued their annual Christmas fishing fiesta with a legendary performance on the mighty Wanderer.
After three years of knocking out Pacific Sailfish, young Ms. Engel finally scored the true fish-of-a-lifetime with this gargantuan Blue Marlin:
Fantastic work by Captain William to deliver this, his third Marlin release of the week.
Later in the day Hendrik brought home dinner for the family in the form of this big Yellowfin Tuna.
In the afternoon the Wanderer took Shelly Peters’ boys offshore and found the fish of a lifetime around 2pm.
This monster Blue Marlin easily weighs over 400lbs. and is the kind of fish that most anglers work their entire lives to conquer.
Amazing work by these young anglers, who also added a nice Sailfish release late in the day:
Roosters in the morning and Billfish in the evening…the flagship proves again why she is the best boat in Costa Rica!
Eric Dixon continues his dominance of the blue water with a monstrous Marline release reported on November 28 by Captain Carlos on the Discoverer.
Estimated at 250lbs.-300lbs., this beast was safely released by Mate Juan Carlos so we expect to catch her again once she gets even bigger.
Later in the day the Dixon boys pulled of an awesome Double Sailfish release, once again featuring expert fish-handling by Juan Carlos.
