The Explorer struck back on May 15 with a fantastic Sailfish release by client Michael Williams. Check out this monster:
Excellent fish handling led to the safe release of this billfish as Captain Carlos notches his scorecard once again!

Blair Wickstrom stayed on the bite on his third day of fishing, scoring this excellent Cubera Snapper aboard the Explorer with Captain Carlos.
Whew! It’s a workout to catch this monster but at least you get 40+ of meat to replenish you strength. Great catch by the Super panga.

Our old pal Jay Thompson has been fishing on the Explorer since the inception of Super panga fishing, but on March 13 he let his visiting brother-in-law handle the fish catching duties. Captain Carlos took the Explorer offshore and found an amazing Sailfish.
Mate Fico had no problem handling this beast.
Later they added this small Broomtail Grouper to the fishbox. Excellent filets to go with the trophy release.

Joe Connell and Nan Dalton have fished each of the last 5 days, and on their final fishing excursion Captain Carlos and the legendary Explorer roped this excellent Sailfish.
Great work for just a half-day trip by the Super panga. Joe and Nan are truly hardcore anglers and their collective performance this week has been stellar.

Jim Dodich is a returning Hall of Famer and along with his buddy they snared an enshrinement-level Cubera Snapper with Captain Carlos on the legendary Explorer.
This is a serious fish…it takes serious muscle and a mean mug to haul in a fish like this.
Great work Captain Carlos!

The new combination of Captain Carlos and Mate Fico on the Explorer has already been impressive. Though new to this boat, both these men have fished in Garza for their whole lives with a combined 20+ years of pro fishing experience.
These Lone Star anglers enjoyed the fruits of that experience with three awesome Sailfish releases on just a five hour trip.
Excellent work from the new crew of the baddest panga you’ve ever seen: the fearless Explorer!

On May 7 the Explorer scored big with several Sailfish released.
With Captain David now on the 31′ Discoverer and Captain Carlos (now the Explorer‘s full time captain) welcoming his new baby home, Mate Fico and Mate Kevin were on board splitting the duties at the helm and in the cockpit.
We are proud to report that there was no drop off on the scorecard, and the Super panga did what she does: release billfish and deliver big smiles for her clients.

The Explorer hit the meat market on May 3 and put a nice Dorado in the shopping cart.
They also added come color in the form of this 15lbs. Yella Fella. Nice work to fill the fishbox by Captain Carlos on the Explorer.

The Explorer delivered this fat Yellowfin Tuna for our new friends Deamian Fischer and Robin Livingston.
These good-sized Yellas are starting to show up in numbers and we are pumped up for the next few months of Ahi Action!

Ken Russell and Larry Komenda couldn’t stand the fact that they would have to go two days until their next trip, so they snapped up Captain David’s only open day and returned to the blue water for more action.
The Sailfish bite was hot as fire and the lines were popping off frequently throughout the trip.
Check out the color on this Sail:
Awesome work by Mate Kevin to safely handle these still-green monsters.
They ended up with six Sails released for the day…great performance from the legendary Super panga.
