Captain Alex leads the way again, this time with catches of the biggest Congiros we have every seen.
No one knows exactly why the size on these are so unusally big this season but when is comes to this succulent lobster-like meat, the more the better!
Great work by the Harvester!

Legendary angler Dan Johnson brought his hard-fishing family along for a productive day on the Wanderer.
Captain William set them up for deep-drop bottom fishing, and the flagship scored several big Congrio.
This unusual fish/eel hybrid yields a flakey, lobster-like meat and is very tasty. Also their body allows for them to swim backwards, which makes for a strange fight.
Also these are some of the biggest Congrios we have seen in quite a long time.

Captain Alex sped through his annual maintenance so that he could get back to the blue water.
On September 21 the Harvester pulled double duty with angler Randy Trent in the morning and Luke Calvery in the afternoon.
This sweet Sailfish release welcomed the mega panga back to the blue water.
Then the elusive and tasty Congrio was on deck as the Harvester moved inshore.

Captain Alex kept the Harvester inshore on the 19th. Chris and Charlotte Keane followed up their brilliant offshore success with some very unique catches.
This Congrio is always a fun catch; this fish/eel hybrid yields a white lobster-like meat that is second to none. Also it provides a unique fight as it is one of the few sea creatures that can swim backwards.
The rest of the day was dominated by Red Groupers, excellent for sandwiches and a bunch of fun to catch.

Captain David welcomed Carl Lindberg or Vermont for a very productive day of inshore filet gathering on March 9.
The highlight was the elusive Congrio. One of the few sea creatures that can swim backwards, this unusual fish/eel hybrid yields a tasty white fish that is similar to lobster tail…yummy!
He also nabbed a sandwich-sized Dorado and a nice White Tuna.
He finished off the day with a pair of big Yellowfin Tunas.
