James Constable is a tough-as-nails Tampa, FL area angler who is no stranger to big catches offshore and near shore.
On March 5 Captain Alex got him going with several nice Rooster Fish releases.
In the afternoon they put away the spinning rods and headed offshore about 10 miles where the Sailfish were stacked up and hungry.
Great work in the cockpit by Mate Kevin to coordinate this high-flying action.
The Harvester booked a short 2.5 hour afternoon trip on the 4th, but that was plenty of time to knock the Rooster Fish off of this client’s bucket list.
A fish of a lifetime for some, but just quick work for the Mega Panga!
The Harvester got on a hot streak this month, starting on the 3rd with this very productive day of Sailfish releases:
Mate Kevin was on top of his game with these big pelagic releases.
Check out the amazing bio-luminescence on this beast:
The crew also added a medium-sized Dorado for the dinner table. Not bad at all!
Amazing photo sequence delivered by the Harvester…check out this high-flying beauty’s trip from the clear blue water to the billshot.
Safe release by Mate Kevin means we get to see this happen over and over again in the future.
Craig invited Javier and Marino along for his last day of fishing on the Harvester, and Captain Alex put them on the fish early and often.
Aside from this Double Sailfish release, they also scored several more Sailfish during the trip.
Great work by the mega panga!
David Brand is my kind of fisherman: He arrived in Nosara for a five night stay and fished all four days from sunrise to sunset on the mega panga Harvester.
His dedication to fishing yielded rewards early and often with multiple Sailfish releases on the first day.
They also nabbed a Yellowfin tuna to keep them fed for the week.
On day three the Sailfish were thick as cord-wood and Captain Alex masterfully hunted down these high flyers.
After a whopping twelve Sailfish releases, David Brand opted to head inshore a little early to hunt another exotic trophy fish:
This 30+lbs. Rooster Fish was the perfect send-off to a great week of fishing on the Harvester.
Captain Alex has already infused the new Harvester with his trademark ‘Never Surrender’ attitude and his clients are reaping the rewards.
Our good friend Gary Langfitt brought his daughter along for and offshore shoot out with some super-sized Sailfish and they managed to conquer four of these beauties.
They missed a fifth fish about 20 feet from the boat, but the indomitable Captain Alex will be back for him soon!
Jackie Powell’s final trip of the week was by far the best, with Captain Alex reporting lots of big Sailfish releases.
The bite was so white-hot that they could hardly keep a bait in the water.
After all the safe releases, the group nabbed some end-of-week filets from this nice sized Yellowfin Tuna.
Great work by these fun-loving anglers!
Returning Hall of Famer Dennis Seltsam and his lovely wife Debbie had a nice bit of action on the Harvester with Captain Alex reporting several nice football-sized Yellowfin Tuna.
They also scored a late-day Sailfish to round out the trip.
Our great friend Jon Temple brought his son to Nosara to hunt Sailfish, and the Harvester‘s Captain Alex put them on the bite early and often.

After the first release, Mr. Temple got in on the action.
These are beautiful photos of these high-flying brightly colored Pacific Sailfish.
The icing on the cake is the safe release of all these billfish care of Mate Kevin.
