Craig Sutton got his week of fishing off to a good start with a trio of Sailfish releases in just 4 hours of fishing.
Excellent work by Mate Wilson to keep these fish calm and to release them safely.

The Sailfish swarmed during early August, and Captain Alex led the charge with an excellent seven release day on August 9.
This Double Sailfish release was quite a challenge, but Mate Wilson coordinated with Captain Alex wonderfully and kept these fish separate and safe.
The sustained Sailfish attack continued all morning and the crew chalked up the scoreboard several times.
Great work to keep these fights short and sweet, ensuring the safety and survival of the fish.
A man can work up quite a hunger with all this action, so wouldn’t it be nice to catch something to eat?
Yes….yes it is.
This monster deck-sweeping Dorado even impressed Captain William on the Wanderer (see backround), who came by to see for himself.
Amazing day by the mega panga!

The boys were back the next day to storm the gates on more Sailfish releases.
Look at this crazy dragon energy these monster expelled just feet from the boat.
The team nabbed a half-dozen Sailfish releases before calling it a day.
Great job by Captain Alex and Mate Wilson to release these fine beauties to fight another day.

Wayne Voswinkel has returned with another squad of big-fishing Texans and they got off to a fast start on August 7 with Captain Alex on the Harvester.
These high-flying acrobats put on a show on the way to the boat.
Team Voswinkel also added big Yellowfin Tunas for the icebox.
Great work by the Harvester!

We had an epic day with Alex on the Harvester this morning,” wrote Ryan Doersam on August 3.
“A Sailfish double header less than 30 minutes after dropping the lines followed by a 200+lb Marlin about 10 minutes after we released the Sailfish.”
Great job by Captain Alex and the mega panga Harvester.

Captain Alex took Daniel Stapinski and his group out for a 5 hour half day, but the shortened day didn’t dampen the Harvester‘s ‘Never Surrender’ spirit.
A true Double Sailfish hook-up was the highlight of the trip.
Great work by Captain Alex to deftly handle the double capture, and then hand them off to Mate Wilson in order to take the photo.
Seeing double?
Also a great solo Sailfish release was executed during the trip.
Amazing fishing in short order by the mega panga Harvester!

When we say that the fish are fired-up in late July, this is what we mean:
Alan Brewer and his group were the beneficiaries of these fired up billfish, the leader of which was this beautiful Blue Marlin.
After that amazing catch, Team Brewer belted up for an awesome Double Sailfish battle.
Great work by Captain Alex and Mate Kevin to keep these two monsters from getting tangled and ensuring a safe release for both fish.

On July 25th the Harvester and angler Carlyle Smith found themselves neck-deep in some BIG Sailfish.
This is the time of year when the Sailfish are at their largest, with some of these easily over 150lbs.
A mid-day Dorado took care of dinner.
More nice Sailfish releases rounded out the day.
Great work by the mega panga!

Captain Alex kept the good times rolling on July 24 with angler Alan Brewer’s group collecting a bunch of Sailfish releases.
Looks like everyone on board got a chance to battle a big billfish.
Even Captain Alex got in on the billfish releases while Mate Wilson tried to get feeling back in his arms.
Great day by the mega panga Harvester!

For those still clinging to the old notion that the fishing in Costa Rica is not white-hot in July, please check out this July 22 trip from the Harvester with angler Carlyle Smith.
This monster Marlin was just the tip of the iceberg.
A big time Sailfish wasn’t far behind, and the mega panga was there to pull her in.
Another great Sailfish also found its way to the Harvester.
Normally a big day full of billfish releases would be all that you need, but why not add some big Dorado filets for the fishbox?
Oh and in case you are wondering, all of these catch came on just a 6.5 hour trip…imaging if they had gone for a full eight hours!
