Grant Singleton and Leon Sylvester left the kids and wives at home and went out hunting for billfish. Captain Carlos of Adventurer and Explorer fame joined Captain William on the flagship Wanderer and that means no escape for these Pacific Sailfish.

Careful with that iPad, buddy! They show them doing a lot of things with iPads in the commercials, but I don’t recall seeing this application before.

By the end of the trip the fellas had added three more releases to their scorecard, bring the total for both families to seven releases over a 48 hour span. Very good performance from these North Carolina anglers.

FishingNosara has hosted some wonderful folks from the Carolinas and the group of Leon Sylvester, Grant Singleton, and their families has continued the tradition of great Costa Rican angling by folks from the Tar Heel State.

They have several trips scheduled this week and kicked things of right with three Sailfish releases on the first trip. The first one (above) came in early around 8:30am while Sailfish number two found the hook just before 10am.

The final fish of the trip put on a heck of a show on the way to the boat but the masterful Captain William was unfazed by the dance routine and simply kept the fight short and sweet.

Of course safe fish-handling by First Mate Alex meant that all of these beasts will be ready for battle again in the near future…maybe in time for Team Carolina’s next trip!
