The Harvester and angler Chris Kilgore battled an amazing Marlin on August 13.
Chris posted after the catch:
“So grateful that Captain Wilson got this video! It was a Black Marlin, the biggest, fastest Marlin species.”
“Harvester first mate Gerardo grabbed the leader (3 separate times) = legal release. We landed and released that big mama according to the rules and she’s still out there.”
“I’m sure she’s fine but I’m still sore. Biggest fish of my life, estimated at 500 lbs, at least 14 ft long. Fought her for 1 hr 20 minutes. Thanks to Wilson, Gerardo, and the whole crew at Fishing Nosara.”

Earl Thomas’ group reached the summit on August 2 as the Wanderer reports a fantastic Blue Marlin release.
Here is an excerpt from Earl’s email: “The highlight was that my son Brandon caught a 300 lb. Blue Marlin and after a 2 hour battle brought the beautiful creature to the side of the boat for some fantastic photographs and then a safe release. This, of course, is a once in a lifetime experience and one that we will always remember. It is one of the main reasons I wanted to bring my boys to your area. . .to experience up close the thrill and majesty of this kind of sportfishing. ”
