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.

After a trip to the fish market, Laura and Mike headed offshore to find Sailfish City. Captain William led the way and the Wanderer proceeded to score big.
After the first two releases Mike Neeland added to his swollen Sailfish scorecard, and then Laura followed up with a nice fish of her own.
The big hit of the day with this small Striped Marlin; while not the biggest fish we’ve ever seen, this little Stripey still fought like a tiger.

Captain William has established a sterling reputation for consistency, and he has certainly hit his stride this season.
Late in the day they got this Black Marlin on the line and brought him all the way to the boat for a clean safe release.
Safe releases all around by Mate Johnson ensure that we’ll see more of these awesome monsters again.
