This monster Blue Marlin release was backed-up with a nice Sailfish release.

“On April 29th on the Wanderer I had an experience of a lifetime!” wrote Mary Moynahan after her trip. “Since this trip to Costa Rica was my first time deep sea fishing, it’ll remain an experience I’ll never forget!”

“Starting off w/ a few Bonita (to try & catch a Rooster fish, w/ no luck. lol), to a barracuda eating my bonita & losing a sailfish…. To a 10’ 3” Black Marlin, weighing in close to 500lbs they say!!!!!”
