Alkis Kourkoulos scored the fish-of-a-lifetime with Captain Fico on January 30. This monstrous Black Marlin was no match for this Clearwater, FL-based angler.
Safely handled and released by new Mate Elias.
Wonderful work by the barroom brawlin’ super panga Explorer!
Greggory Adamo and his group had a big fun time on the Wanderer with a feisty Marlin release and several sweet Sailfish releases on the scorecard.
After the Marlin release, everyone got there chance to fight a Pacific Sail.
Funny how big fish and big smiles always seem to go hand-in-hand!
All fish safely released by First Mate Alex and Mate Johnson…the perfect end to a great day of catching.
Hendrik and Maria Engel continued their annual Christmas fishing fiesta with a legendary performance on the mighty Wanderer.
After three years of knocking out Pacific Sailfish, young Ms. Engel finally scored the true fish-of-a-lifetime with this gargantuan Blue Marlin:
Fantastic work by Captain William to deliver this, his third Marlin release of the week.
Later in the day Hendrik brought home dinner for the family in the form of this big Yellowfin Tuna.
In the afternoon the Wanderer took Shelly Peters’ boys offshore and found the fish of a lifetime around 2pm.
This monster Blue Marlin easily weighs over 400lbs. and is the kind of fish that most anglers work their entire lives to conquer.
Amazing work by these young anglers, who also added a nice Sailfish release late in the day:
Roosters in the morning and Billfish in the evening…the flagship proves again why she is the best boat in Costa Rica!
So of course the one day that the camera fails is the day you catch and release a MAMMOTH Black Marlin…those are the breaks!
Katie Sullivan and her group scored this monster on December 22 with Captain William on the Wanderer.
Hopefully we will get our hands on some higher-quality shots, but for now squint you eyes and enjoy!
Eric Dixon continues his dominance of the blue water with a monstrous Marline release reported on November 28 by Captain Carlos on the Discoverer.
Estimated at 250lbs.-300lbs., this beast was safely released by Mate Juan Carlos so we expect to catch her again once she gets even bigger.
Later in the day the Dixon boys pulled of an awesome Double Sailfish release, once again featuring expert fish-handling by Juan Carlos.
The battleship Discoverer broke the ice for the team with the first Marlin release of the season on November 24 with client Delton Hollmann.
Great work by Captain Carlos and Mate Juan Carlos on this beautiful billfish release!
The Explorer finished of the month with a hot streak of great catches. This Marlin scored by Tyler Hawes is clearly the leader of the pack:
Then the barroom brawler started racking up Sailfish releases by the bunches.
It’s wasn’t just trophy releases being scored by the Super panga; Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin also filled up the icebox with Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna:
Also, local diver Gustavo Villalobos Jiménez took a quick ride out of the bay and dove down for a pair of tasty Langostas (lobsters):
Fantastic action from the baddest 26-foot boat in the country!
Client Jay Evart joined the flagship for a morning half day and scored the fish of a lifetime:
This feisty Striped Marlin is an angler’s dream, and the Wanderer proves that you can catch the ocean’s baddest fish in just a short time on the water.
Excellent work all around by the mighty Wanderer.
Captain David scored a MAMMOTH Blue Marlin with client Chad Grimes of North Carolina on August 22.
This beast is every bit of 300lbs. and is truly the fish-of-a-lifetime.
They followed up with a nice Sailfish release later in the day.
Fantastic work by Captain David, Mate Juan Carlos, and Fico from the Adventurer.
