Leah Merryfield’s posse finished there fishing adventure on January 2 with (surprise, surprise) another gaggle of Sailfish releases.
Everyone took a turn on the reel for this victory lap trip:
What a great way to end the trip!
Morgan and Kenny brought the year to a close with a monster performance on December 31, highlighted by the FishingNosara team’s first-ever Triple Sailfish Release!
We’ve caught up to four Sailfish simultaneously in the past, but never had enough hands on deck to safely handle more than two at a time for pictures.
First Mate Alex has been training the new Mates as he waits until the Harvester arrives, and fate would have it that he was on hand to coordinate this amazing photo.
These Virginia-based anglers scored a few more Sails to round out the trip later in the day.
Leah Merryfield’s group was back on the Wanderer for more great Sailfish action on December 30, highlighted by this late day Double Sailfish release:
This was the icing on the cake of a day that saw seven Sailfish releases by Leah’s team.
Leah took the lead with several Sailfish of her own on the group’s second multiple release day.
ย This Texas anglers are certainly in line for another entry into the FishingNosara Hall of Fame!
The Explorer closed the year on fire with client Alkis Kourkoulos scored a swarm of Sailfish releases.
Wonderful fish-handling by Mate Kevin to see all of these fine fish swim free.
Captain Carlos has been rocking and rolling:
He pulled a very productive four Sailfish release day on December 30 with client Steve Mears.

Captain Carlos has the Discoverer on pace to be the most consistent fish-catcher in the area, and on December 29 continued on his hot streak with a lovely pair of Sailfish releases:
Safe handling by Mate Juan Carlos means we’ll see these Sailfish again soon…great work by the battleship!
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.
Lots of family fun and fishing action for client Scott Hansen on December 27.
Captain William reports several Sailfish releases by anglers big and small.
Great work by this hard-fishin’ family!
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!
After several days of consistent action, Captain William and the Wanderer earned their spot on the ‘Nice’ list, and Santa filled their stockings with an extremely productive day of off-shore action.
Client John Gaviotis and his group scored a quartet of Sailfish releases early in the day, all safe released by Mate Johnson.
All these trophy releases worked up quite an appetite for the crew, so Captain William followed the porpoises to the Yellowfin Tuna feeding grounds.
Looks like Christmas filets all around for John Gaviotis and the crew of the Wanderer!
