Harris Savin continued his tour around the fleet with a visit to Captain David’s Explorer. The good times kept rollin’ for this fun-loving client on the Super panga.
Harris was joined by Roger Smith and together they released five more Sailfish.
Look at these shots…Great work on the camera by Harris!
As usual they added a late-day Dorado for the dinner table.
Harris is on a tear this week and we expect more great catches from this angler.
Ryan Harrington and Mackenzie Ruhnke came to Costa Rica to tie the knot, but these honeymooners found out that tied to the end of their knot was this 400+ Marlin:
Captain David cut down the angles on the high-flying beast while Ryan put tighten the the screws on her.
Mate Kevin kept this monster under control, and saw to a picture-perfect Marlin release.
Later in the day they scored a few Sailfish releases to round out the trip.
Great times on the Explorer for the new bride and groom!
Client Louis Quevillin and his boys booked the Explorer for a brief 2.5 hour visit to the blue water, and Captain David kept his Sailfish hot streak alive despite the short fishing hours.

They didn’t leave empty handed with this tasty White Tuna on ice as well.
It’s a real treat to see such big smiles from such little anglers; at its best fishing is a family sport and it’s an honor to introduce youngsters to the craft of sportfishing.
Gordon Nielsen started his multi-day Costa Rican fishing trip with Captain David on the Explorer on February 9, and he got acclimated to the blue water battleground early and often.
This big Dorado was the first fish in the boat, then the Explorer was beset by some big Sailfish
This trio of nice releases is a great start to the week for Gordon…let’s hope for more great catches for Mr. Nielsen.
You gotta love this itinerary: 6 nights in Nosara, 5 days of fishing!
The hardcore angling quartet of Ben James, Brad Simons, Chad Langley, and Kevin Poole began their fishing odyssey on board the legendary Explorer on February 2.
To say they got off to a fast start is the understatement of the year:
This high-flying Striped Marlin ain’t the biggest bully in the schoolyard but he had moves like a welterweight champion.
Chad put the screws to this fish as Captain David did everything he could to keep her centered behind the cockpit.
Finally they got the fish alongside and the fearless Captain Carlos (on loan from the Adventurer) executed a perfect billshot and release.
Later Ben got into it with a very aggressive Sailfish, but once again this billfish was no match for the barroom brawler Explorer.
These boys didn’t go hungry either, as Kevin KO’d this nice Dorado and Brad added a tasty White Tuna.
Good start to what should be a legendary week of hardcore fishing.
