Shane Whealton finished off his week of fishing in style on February 8 with the Harvester reporting a 71lbs. Dorado catch; this is clearly the largest of the year so far.

This big bad bull hit two different baits, but the mega panga’s crew calmly coordinated the fight to prevent tangles.

The Whealton boys were joined by FishingNosara’s Northeast Rep Mark Cooney for this fishin’ mission. Their scorecard was marked up with multiple Sailfish releases.

Busy day for Mate Wilson overseeing the releases of these monsters.

Great work by the Harvester and her crew!

Captain Alex welcomed anglers from the Adam O’Keil group on February 6 and posted a banner day of blue water action.

On the way out to the blue water they nagged some small feeder fish, then stepped up the main attraction.

This Marlin release is a truly world-class angling acheivment. Safely handled and relesed by Captain Alex so we can count on battling this beautiful billfish again soon.

The Harvester was attacked by swarms of Sailfish throughout the trip.

These billfish were fired up and ready for action; what a blessing for these Canadian anglers.
