The Explorer delivered the catch-of-a-lifetime for this fun fishing family on March 25.
Double Sailfish releases are tricky, but Mate Johnny stayed calmed and ensured the safe release of both fish.
Great work by Captain Fico and the Explorer!

On February 19, Florida angler Susan Delosh and her party pulled off one of fishing’s most difficult feats…the Double Sailfish release!
Excellent job by Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin to ensure the safe release of both of these monsters. Another solo Sailfish came calling later in the trip, once again to a safe release.
Great work by the big battleship Discoverer.

Captain Alex entered the closing stretch of the white-hot August bite with a wonderful Blue Marlin release on the 25th.
Angler Stuart Smith bested this bad boy, and it was just the beginning of a banner day.
Captain Alex handled the safe release, complete with his signature move: the Kiss Goodbye:
A big Yellowfin Tuna came along, and then a nice team of Dorados also found the fishbox.
As if there arms weren’t worn out by this time, a paid of late-day Sailfish came calling and fought bravely all the way to the safe releases.
Awe-inspiring day on the water by the mega panga Harvester!

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!

We had an epic day with Alex on the Harvester this morning,” wrote Ryan Doersam on August 3.
“A Sailfish double header less than 30 minutes after dropping the lines followed by a 200+lb Marlin about 10 minutes after we released the Sailfish.”
Great job by Captain Alex and the mega panga Harvester.

Captain Alex took Daniel Stapinski and his group out for a 5 hour half day, but the shortened day didn’t dampen the Harvester‘s ‘Never Surrender’ spirit.
A true Double Sailfish hook-up was the highlight of the trip.
Great work by Captain Alex to deftly handle the double capture, and then hand them off to Mate Wilson in order to take the photo.
Seeing double?
Also a great solo Sailfish release was executed during the trip.
Amazing fishing in short order by the mega panga Harvester!
