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!
July 30, 2015
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.

The Barroom Brawler scored a knockout with client Matt Smoker achieving the Billfish Grand Slam on July 28!
The day started innocently enough with a pair of nice Sailfish releases:
Then Captain Carlos improved upon the scorecard with a small Black Marlin release.
Estimated around 200lbs., this juvenile Black Marlin put up a big fight but was safely handled and released by Mate Kevin.
Then a 500+ lbs. Blue Marlin hit the hook and Matt Smoker belted up for the true fish-of-a-lifetime:
This fish is a true monster and is fitting that it was final jewel in the Grand Slam crown for Mr. Smoker.
Oh, one other thing about this Grand Slam…5hr. HALF DAY TRIP!
Most anglers work their whole lives to accomplish the Grand Slam, but the Explorer only needs 300 minutes…mic drop!

June 9 was a landmark day for the Wanderer and the Vincent boys…let’s have Patrick tell the story:
“Today, with help from my Dad, I accomplished a fishing dream!”
“Together we caught a Billfish Grand Slam which means we caught three different species of Billfish in one day.”
“We caught a 200lb Blue Marlin, a 100lb Striped Marlin, and two Pacific Sailfish at 130lbs and at 80lbs!”
“It’s something to be proud of and always remembered and I couldn’t think of a better person to share it with than my dad!”
