Harris ‘El Matador’ Savin came to Nosara early to get warmed up for the Ship of Fools Tournament, and on his first day fishing Captain Alex found him a fine sparring partner:

Texas angler Brandy Willis brought her fun-loving group down to Nosara for an action-packed week of blue water fishing action.
This high-flying Blue Marlin was the first fish of the day for the flagship, and the action would stay hot throughout the day.
Next up with this aggressive flying Sailfish, which managed to spit the hook after a series of acrobatic leaps.
Awww, shucks!
Fortunately the bite stayed good, as evidenced by this tasty Dorado for the dinner table caught by Dustin Purvis.
