Chuck Harris and the Tallahassee Offshore Mafia scored big on the Wanderer with Captain William reporting amazing action in the blue water.

As the day continued they also nabbed several sweet Sailfish releases.
Great start to the week by Chuck and the boys!
“Did battle with a huge marlin today for almost an hour before he broke off,” writes Robbie Parks in an email. “It made three greyhound runs for all of us to see.”
“Mate Juan Carlos said it was the biggest one he’d ever fought. Estimated at 900+ pounds.”
“It was a beast. Leviathan from the deep. Really whipped me. Captain Carlos and Juan Carlos were fantastic. The experience of a lifetime for me.”
Captain Fico reports a major Marlin release on June 13 with client James Fenn on the Explorer. Check out this monster:
The Discoverer leads the team in Grand Slams this year, and on May 21 close to notching the scorecard with another one.
Joined by client Jennifer Engle, Captain Carlos nabbed two Blue Marlins, and two Sailfish.
For good measure they also added a Dorado for the dinner table.
Fantastic work by Jennifer Engle and the Discoverer.
The Harvester welcomed Ken Richmond and his group of hard-fishing Texans on May 14 and caught a true fish of a lifetime…check out this MASSIVE Marlin:
Captain Alex has the mega panga locked in and is fulfilling her promise as a world-class billfish fighter.
Great safe release by Mate Kevin means that we’ll see this monster again soon!
Also our buddy Eric Dixon scored the finest feat in all of fishing: Billfish Grand Slam!
To the laymen that’s a Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, and Sailfish on a single trip.
Great work by Captain Carlos, Mate Juan Carlos, and the battleship Discoverer!
Nathan Sylvester and his boys scored with the Wanderer reporting a Double Marlin release backed-up by several Sailfish releases:
The simultaneous Marlin hook-up is a whirlwind of action for even the most experienced anglers, but these youngsters handled it like old pros.
Fifteen minutes after the first release came the second; this mystery Marlin is either a small Blue Marlin, a large Striped Marlin, or the rare Hatchet Marlin.
They also scored a pair of Sailfish later in the trip, rounding out a truly memorable day of fishing.
Richard Mumford and Frank Gregg scored the fish of a lifetime with Captain Alex on the Harvester in the form of this 350+lbs. Black Marlin.
Amazing work by Mate Kevin to see to the safe release of this monster after almost two hours of battle.
As an added bonus they also nabbed this Dorado for the dinner table.
The Mega Panga is dialed-in and Captain Alex’ clients are reaping the rewards.
Ken and Brenda Russell and Larry Komenda and Misti Nolan saved their best day for last.
This MAMMOTH Black Marlin was the highlight of the trip, which also included lots of Sailfish.
They didn’t leave empty handed as Ken boated another BIG Wahoo, his second of the week.
