Our old buddy Hubble Keller overcame obstacles this week to make his fishing dreams come true.
He had members of his posse cancel on him last minutes, plus his son caught a little bug that left him on the sidelines briefly.
But these Florida anglers weren’t going down without a fight, and on their last day in town they lit up the scorecard with five super Sailfish releases.
Fantastic work by this legendary angler.
The Discoverer welcomed a nice group of Texas anglers led by client Grier Brunson for a productive day of blue water action.
They released a pair of Sailfish. Nice hunting by Captain Carlos!
Captain Fico and Mate Elias have turned in a fantastic year of fishing on the Explorer, and they closed out the season with a BANG!
They released a swarm of Sailfish in late August, and also added this excellent Rooster Fish release.
The fishbox stayed full with reports of Yellowfin Tuna and a big Amberjack.
Amazing action from the barroom brawler!
Charles Efird and Huck Venters finished off their week with another great performance on the Wanderer.
Captain William found the way to Sailfish City and found the streets swarmed with Sailfish.
After several excellent releases they were treated to a rare a beautiful sighting: look at this wonderful Balena or Whale.
Awesome day on the mighty flagship!
Charles Efird and Huck Venters joined the Wanderer for back-to-back trips in late August, with Captain William reporting thick numbers of Sailfish lurking offshore.
These North Carolina anglers performed brilliantly with these billfish releases.
The next day they nabbed several more Sailfish releases:
Plus there were a few nice Yellowfin Tuna catches to round out the day; always good to have filets for the dinner table!
Great work by Charles, Huck, and their families!
The Explorer snatched up a little bit of everything in mid-August. They pulled a double trophy release with this Sailfish and Rooster fish on the same trip:
Then they paired another Rooster fish release with a full fishbox of filets:
The Super panga is on a hot streak and continues to create converts to Extreme Panga fishing.
Russell Brewster struck again with an offshore haul that included a big Dorado and some nice Yellowfin Tuna on ice backed up by a super Sailfish releases.
Captain Alex has the Harvester dialed-in and her late season performance his year has been staggering.
Excellent work by the Mega Panga.
The Harvester found gold with Craig Sutton nabbing a 150+lbs. Yellowfin Tuna on August 12.
Craig casted for this monster over a pod of spinning porpoises and brought him home with an efficient 25 minute fight on a Penn Slammer spinning reel.
It’s rare to see a fish the Captain Alex can’t lift off the deck, but this one fits the bill.
Fellow anglers Kim and Lloyd Michael were on board and scored an excellent Sailfish release, plus added their own meat with a 50+ lbs. Dorado.
Great day on the Mega Panga!
More great catches reported by the Discoverer. On August 12 Captain Carlos reports this sweet Sailfish release backed up by a nice Rooster fish release:
Nice fishing from the battlship!
Kenneth Noonan had a very productive half day with Captain Alex reporting two sweet Sailfish releases for the Harvester.
The second fish was a real fighter, and put on a heck of a show above the water.
Great fish handling by Mate Kevin for safe releases all around.
