Returning Hall of Famer Dennis Seltsam tried his hand on the new Discoverer for a few trips in late February. Joined by Bill and Mary Elms, this Kentucky angler scored big on a variety of species.

David Stewart is on a Sailfish streak this week with lots of great releases on the Discoverer.

The fish were fired up and ready for a fight, but the combo of Captain David on the wheel and Mate Juan Carlos in the cockpit was unstoppable.

Safe releases all around made for a perfect end to these fights.

The Discoverer stayed inshore with Jimmy Jones on February 1 and scored a bucket-list grade Rooster Fish:

A great catch that was safe released by Mate Juan Carlos. The bite stayed strong and yielded several pan-sized Yellowfin Tunas.

Sushi, anyone?

Captain David on the Discoverer has been on a tear all month. Along with trusty Mate Juan Carlos the new battleship has scored victories on a wide array of Marlin and Sailfish. plus added lots of good eating fish for the filet bag.

This Marlin was a feisty fighter, clean released as usual by Mate Juan Carlos. The Sailfish have been coming into the spread in droves and Captain David has capitalized big time.

Finally, check out the girth on these Dorados and the numbers of these Tunas:

Great work by Captain David!

The Discoverer and client Amy Hamrick braved high winds to get out to Sailfish City on the 26th.

Captain David was fearless in the face of the gale and Amy scored this beautiful Sailfish release.

Great fish-handling by Mate Juan Carlos was the perfect finish to a challenging day on the water.

Captain David is kicking billfish butt on the Discoverer and on the 18th client Robert Preston and his friends scored this impressive Striped Marlin:

A true fish of a lifetime by anyone’s standard!

They also scored this nice Dorado for the icebox:

Here’s what Bob had to say:

“Craig, our group had a great fishing experience during the week of January 18, 2015. Our group included 1 – 84 year old, 1 – 74 year old (me) 2 – 66 year old, 1 – 63 year old and a 41 year old. (Feel free to advertise in the AARP magazine.)

Our crew, Captain David and 1st Mate Juan-Carlos, was top notch. The Discover was a pristine vessel and the equipment was in excellent condition.

Our catch record included: 6 sails, 1 striped marlin (in the photo on the latest FishingNosara report – the angler was 84 year old Ed Malinowski) 2 blue marlin (1 hook up and one leader touch), 5 yellow fin tuna, many Mahi-Mahi and 1 Cubera snapper – we had a leader touch on the snapper but Captain David said it doesn’t count (we are still taking credit for it).”

Fantastic work from the battleship Discoverer!
