The Sailfish swarmed during early August, and Captain Alex led the charge with an excellent seven release day on August 9.

This Double Sailfish release was quite a challenge, but Mate Wilson coordinated with Captain Alex wonderfully and kept these fish separate and safe.

The sustained Sailfish attack continued all morning and the crew chalked up the scoreboard several times.

Great work to keep these fights short and sweet, ensuring the safety and survival of the fish.

A man can work up quite a hunger with all this action, so wouldn’t it be nice to catch something to eat?

Yes….yes it is.

This monster deck-sweeping Dorado even impressed Captain William on the Wanderer (see backround), who came by to see for himself.

Amazing day by the mega panga!

For those still clinging to the old notion that the fishing in Costa Rica is not white-hot in July, please check out this July 22 trip from the Harvester with angler Carlyle Smith.

This monster Marlin was just the tip of the iceberg.

A big time Sailfish wasn’t far behind, and the mega panga was there to pull her in.

Another great Sailfish also found its way to the Harvester.

Normally a big day full of billfish releases would be all that you need, but why not add some big Dorado filets for the fishbox?

Oh and in case you are wondering, all of these catch came on just a 6.5 hour trip…imaging if they had gone for a full eight hours!

The white-hot billfish bite continued on July 19 with Captain Alex reporting a mammoth day for angler Steve Balz and his boys. This monster Blue Marlin was the highlight of the trip:

The Marlin was backed-up by this great Sailfish release:

Of course the boys didn’t go home empty-handed, as a squad of tasty Dorados found their way to the fishbox.

Awesome work by the mega panga Harvester.
