Dale Rehus scored the biggest Rooster Fish release of the season on August 14.
This is a no-doubter 100+lbs. fish. The IGFA all-tackle record is 51.71kg (114lbs.) and I think this one is in the conversation.
A nice Sailfish release also reflected nicely on the scorecard.
Great work by Captain Fico and the barroom brawler Explorer.

Alabama angler Hall Massey made history for the FishingNosara team by being the first person to catch a Sailfish on the fly.
We’ve attempted a bit of fly-fishing over the years, and this accomplishment was a long time coming.
Roll tide!

Craig Sutton and Javier went fishing on the 11th with Captain Fico, along with a special guest: Javier’s seven-year old son Dario.
Fans of this fishing report already know that Dario is a master of river mouth fishing, however this Sailfish represents his first billfish release.
Great work by young Dario!
