The Discoverer scored a double whammy on trophy releases with client Brian Clark. The day started with this lovely Rooster Fish release:
Then the big score came in the afternoon in the form of a huge Black Marlin.
Estimated over 300lbs. this whopper is certainly the fish of lifetime for Mr. Clark.
Client Tony King rolled into town and fished his very first afternoon on board the barroom brawler, and sure enough he picked a fight with the biggest mofo in the place!
What a great Marlin!
Clearly Captain Carlos and Mate Kevin are dialed-in and their amazing scorecards are proving the point.
Safe released so we can expect to fight this monster again really soon!
Captain David brought the house down with a two Marlin day on May 10.
Client Tony King and his group scored a small Striped Marlin estimated around 200lbs. and a larger Blue Marlin estimated at more than 350lbs.
They added a Sailfish to the scorecard to round-out a legendary day of fishing.
Great job by the battleship Discoverer!
Client Max Kellogg scored a mighty Marlin with the flagship Wanderer on May 2.
This high-flying monster put up a heck of a fight, but Max kept the heat on her aided by Captain William’s masterful boat handling:
Look carefully at the :08 mark…How the heck does he keep perfect pace to keep the Marlin alongside while still sneaking out from behind the wheel to take this picture?
Cause he is a badass. That’s how.
Nice fish-handling by First Mate Alex to see the fish and angler safely separated to fight another day.
Max followed up this fish of a lifetime with a few Sailfish releases.
Then they closed out the day with a picture-perfect Rooster fish release.
“We just got back. Got a 300# Blue, 2 decent sized Sailfish, and a nice Rooster, probably 40#+. Lost a couple of small dorado. Came in about 2:30. Great trip – perfect conditions!”
It’s unusual for us to get an email from a client mere minutes after they get back to shore, but Roy Jackson hit us up with the email titled: Awesome Day!
“4 sails and one 400 lb marlin. Got some great HD video of the marlin on the gopro. That was a long 45 minutes to land it.“
Now let’s enjoy some photos from this fight:
The rest of the day had strong action for Roy and the whole family.
The kids really put on a show with a Double Sailfish release, expertly coordinated by First Mate Alex.
It’s always great to see youngsters posting such great results. Fantastic fishing day by the Jackson family and the mighty Wanderer!
The Wanderer countered with a 400lbs. Marlin for client Roy Jackson.
They also backed it up with 4 Sailfish releases. All in a days work for the baddest boat in Garza!
Fantastic Marlin release for the big battleship Discoverer. Look at this leviathan:
This release was supported by a sweet Sailfish release later in the trip:
Excellent performance from Captain David and the Discoverer!
Great catch on the battleship Discoverer! This awesome Blue Marlin release is truly the fish of a lifetime.
More details and photos to come…
Ken and Brenda Russell’s group posted another stellar day of action on March 18, highlighted by this incredible Marlin release by angler Misti Nolan.
They also snagged a Sailfish release and a nice Dorado while they were offshore.
Excellent Dorado score by Larry Komenda:
Captain William didn’t rest on his laurels on this 8 hour trip, as he made it back inshore in time to squeeze another magnificent fish into the day.
Great Rooster fish…certainly looks like it still has some fight in it!
Captain David on the Discoverer has been on a tear all month. Along with trusty Mate Juan Carlos the new battleship has scored victories on a wide array of Marlin and Sailfish. plus added lots of good eating fish for the filet bag.
This Marlin was a feisty fighter, clean released as usual by Mate Juan Carlos. The Sailfish have been coming into the spread in droves and Captain David has capitalized big time.
Finally, check out the girth on these Dorados and the numbers of these Tunas:
Great work by Captain David!
