Great hunting by Captain Carlos and excellent fish handling by Mate Kevin.

Captain Alex and the Harvester delivered the fish of a lifetime on December 8. Legendary angler Dan Johnson was on the stick for this great Blue Marlin release along with Richard Fertig and Erica.
Here is your new phone background:
This wonderous Blue Marlin is an amazing specimen, and as usual was safely handled and released by Mate Wilson.

Javier Perez and the boys returned to the Discoverer on the 7th and were met by a nice Blue Marlin.
Excellent fish handling by Mate Kevin led to a safe live release.
Great work by the big blue battleship.

Scott O’Kelley moved over the barroom brawler Explorer on the 24th, and proved once again that you don’t need a big boat to catch big fish in Costa Rica.
Excellent billfish releases got things moving the in right direction. Next, Captain Fico hooked up this big Yellowfin Tuna.
More Yellowfin Tunas and Dorados helped round out the haul.

On November 15 John Grumino hit paydirt on the Harvester.
They got right into the thick of the action with this nice Blue Marlin release and a Striped Marlin release.
Amazing action for these Garden State anglers.

The first day of the season filled the refrigerator with Yellowfin Tuna filets, so on the second day Craig and Javier went hunting for trophy fish.
Javier belted up for the first Sailfish of the day. This crazy beauty was darting back in forth above the water.
After a nice battle she was safely released as always.
Craig was next into the breach and waged an epic battle with a big Blue Marlin.
Dario Hernandez joined his father for this trip and snagged a few sandwich-sized Dorado filets.
This trip was also a training run for Mate Antonio, who most of our clients know as our panga boat driver; he will be assuming the mate’s role on the Explorer this year, and will be training with Captain Alex on the Harvester to continue improving his skills.

Amazing video clip from our friends on “Sickafoos” boat. This Marlin may be a rare ‘Grander’ (over 1000lbs.)
Check out Captain Carlos of the Discoverer filling in at the mate position from this August 9, 2020 trip.
Great to see a fish this size and to know that they are waiting for us to return to the blue water.

Our amazing crew has been working hard these last few months on the construction of Casa Bianca, so when Javier asked if he could launch one of the boats for a relaxing fishing time the answer was “Of course!”
Captain Alex and Mate Wilson of the Harvester found some nice Yellowfin Tunas just a few miles off of the beach. Alexander, Grevan, and Marino were happy to have these filets on ice.
Then, they spotted a large macha of porpoises a little bit further offshore. A funny thing happened on the way to the porpoise pod.
A 400+lbs. Blue Marlin caught up with a single lure that Captain Alex left in the water while in transit, and struck it while the Harvester was clipping along at 20 knots!
That is a new level of high-speed trolling! Safely battled by Foreman Dieter and released by Mate Wilson, this release is now part of the Harvester‘s untouchable legacy.

The Wanderer and angler David Schwertner battled a big Blue Marlin on the 20th.
This one got away, but what a fun fight. Plus we got great photos of the fight.
