Captain Fito welcomed Kevin Persinger to the Adventurer on January 19 for a record-breaking day.
The 23-foot switchblade snuck out to the blue water and scored SEVEN Sailfish releases.
Great work by Kevin and Captain Fito to safely release all of these majestic creatures.
For the dinner table he nabbed a big Dorado backed-up with a couple small Groupers. Yummy!

Dan Johnson from Hatteras, NC celebrated his 60th birthday with his family fishing on the Wanderer and Discoverer.
The birthday boy himself was on the Discoverer overseeing a big haul of meatfish; big Dorado and multiple Yellowfin Tunas.
They also moved inshore and pulled up some tasty Red Groupers.
The Wanderer stayed rail-to-rail with the Discoverer, and the other half of the Johnson family scored several super billfish releases.
The Wanderer scored their own pile of filets with multiple Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas on ice.
The Wanderer‘s scorecard was highlighted by a 450lbs. Black Marlin release and two Sailfish releases.
All billfish safe released as always.

Dan Johnson from Hatteras, NC finished up his 23rd full day of fishing with FishingNosara since the end of the pandemic (Oct. 1, 2021).
He was joined by friends Captain David Barrantes (of the Adventurer), Toni Bustos, Danny Jiron, and Bryan Gomez.
They had a great catch of Red Groupers and Congrio.
Also, they had a Blue Marlin crash the left teaser three times but it wouldn’t take the pitch bait. About 15 minutes later a Blue Marlin attacked the right long teaser and after a few jumps rushed the boat and bit the hook in half.

Captain David had a nice run of trips in early July, highlighted by nice inshore action on Red Grouper and Yellowfin Tuna.
In mid-July, there was a small accident with the Transporter (the ship-to-shore panga boat) that left Mate Kevin of the Discoverer with a serious case of bruised ribs.
Fortunately for the team, Captain David came to the rescue to assist Captain Carlos in the mate position on the big battleship.
After a fun couple of weeks of billfish releases offshore, Captain David returned to the Adventurer for a great trip with our old pal Mark Cooney reporting multiple excellent Yellowfin Tunas.
