Harris Savin finished his fishing adventurer with Captain David on the Explorer, only a special guest was on hand in the mate position: Captain Carlos of the Adventurer.
Carlos started Harris out on this great week of fishing, so it is only fitting that he see Mr. Savin finish strong.
Another day, another five Sailfish!
With this beefy White Tuna thrown in for dinner, I’d say this is the perfect end to a perfect week for Harris Savin!

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!

Nice work by Mate Kevin on the clean release.

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.

Captain David turned in an awesome performance on a morning half day on February 10 with client Bill Zaidel and his son.
Giant Sailfish swarmed the boat early in the trip, keeping Mate Kevin super busy in the cockpit.
They also scored a pair of nice Dorados around 10am, then added a few more around noon.
More Sailfish were tearing up the spread, but Bill and boys showed no mercy.
Excellent five hour trip yielding four Sailfish releases…that’s how we do it on the Super panga.

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.

Jose Luis Barzuna joined Captain David and Mate Kevin for a blue water billfish hunt and scored a nice bunch of Sailfish releases.
Look at the amazing color on these Sails…lots of blue and green light from these monsters.
They added a 25lbs. Dorado late in the trip, capping of a very memorable day of offshore action.

William Donough enlisted the Explorer on February 7 and Captain David set the super panga right in front of a swollen school of Sailfish.
These monsters came in hot and heavy all afternoon; as soon as Mate Kevin turned one loose another big one came flying through the spread.
The baits were definitely looking tasty, as this frigate bird couldn’t resist a rigged ballyhoo.
We do occasionally get a bird snagged in the lines, but we make sure they are safely released just like the billfish.
By then end of the half-day trip the Explorer had notched five safe Sailfish releases…excellent day by Captain David!
