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.
The battleship Discoverer broke the ice for the team with the first Marlin release of the season on November 24 with client Delton Hollmann.
Great work by Captain Carlos and Mate Juan Carlos on this beautiful billfish release!
Captain David scored a MAMMOTH Blue Marlin with client Chad Grimes of North Carolina on August 22.
This beast is every bit of 300lbs. and is truly the fish-of-a-lifetime.
They followed up with a nice Sailfish release later in the day.
Fantastic work by Captain David, Mate Juan Carlos, and Fico from the Adventurer.
Did I say three Marlins in three days?
I meant four Marlins in four days!
The barroom brawler is on a history-making streak, this time scoring a mammoth Blue Marlin for client Ward Heinrich.
Safe released as always by Mate Kevin.
They also marked the scorecard with a Sailfish release.
Wonderful work by the legendary Explorer!
Mike Gilbert’s group continued their amazing hot streak on the water with a fantastic Blue Marlin release on the Explorer.
This monster is certainly the fish-of-a-lifetime, and is the third Marlin release for the Explorer in as many days.
This consistency really speaks to Captain Carlos’ growth as a fisherman, and Mate Kevin’s fearlessness in the cockpit.
They rounded out the scorecard with a nice Sailfish release.
