Jim and Emile Benvegna started their final day of fishing with Captain David on a great note: another Big Black Marlin!
They followed up with a nice Sailfish:
Then these Florida anglers caught two of the nicest Dorado of the season on the Explorer. This pair of bulls are MASSIVE!
These man-sized Mahi Mahi justified the Benvegnas purchase of two FishingNosara coolers to take the filets home…one wasn’t nearly enough!
Also Emilie added a tasty 15+lbs. Wahoo to add variety to the menu.
Great follow up to their awesome Marlin and Sailfish action from earlier in the week, all on the legendary Explorer!

The Explorer welcomed client Justin Howell for a Yellowfin Tuna hunt and Captain David sniffed out a meaty 50lbs. Yella Fella.
This monster should surely satisfy the most demanding appetite. Great catch by the super panga!

The Explorer‘s hot streak continues! Captain David showed these Jacksonville clients an excellent adventure with FIVE Sailfish released on one trip. Mate Kevin is already showing off his locally-polished fishing skills as all five billfish were returned to the water unharmed.
After the Sailfish bite shut down in the afternoon Captain David retooled the Explorer‘s spread to deliver dinner filets in the form of this wonderful 40+lbs. Dorado.
Looks like these clients have nothing to complain about this week…five trophy releases and a full fridge of fresh fish filets!

Andy McGuire had a phenomenal trip on the legendary Explorer with Captain David on the helm and Captain Carlos in the mate position. The dynamic duo put out an irresistible spread and the Sailfish swarmed the Super panga with veracity. Check out this high-flyin’ billfish action:
The first pair of Sailfish put on a great show above the water, but the second pair put on a high-wire act the likes of Barnum and Bailey’s:

Always the mindful skipper, Captain David set the Explorer up for Dorado later in the trip and scored this tasty morsel for his client.

Excellent work as always by the legendary Super panga!

Charlie Phillips, Jason Kintner, and Joseph Timm had a huge day on the Explorer with lots of billfish action backed up with good eatin’ fish.
Jason Kitner: “SIX Pacific Sail Fish on the Explorer with Capt David and First Mate Kevin in one day! OUTSTANDING!!!”
After releasing the trophy fish this posse set up shop over the reef about 2 miles out and piled the fishbox high with tasty Yellowfins.
Here’s a video shot from the Adventurer about 200 yards away; sorry for the quality, but this is a long way to zoom!
