Jason Sandmaier and his son performed beautifully on the Adventurer on the 21st, so much so that two days later they brought the ladies along for a day with Captain Carlos on the Explorer.

The super panga delivered the goods with five Sailfish released throughout the trip.

Excellent fish-handling by Mate Kevin to see all these fish safely released.

Great work by this fun fishing family.

Angler Sterling Johnson enjoyed an excellent day of Yellowfin Tuna action on June 16.

These big Yella Fellas are starting to arrive to our area and the are feeding hard on bait schools.

Needless to say we are all over this invasion of Yellow Submarines.

The Discoverer also scored a Sailfish to round out the scorecard. Great day from the battleship.

Record breaking day on the Adventurer as the 23-footer scored SIX Sailfish releases on a single trip!

Angler Sterling Johnson cemented his place in the FishingNosara Hall of Fame with this ridiculous performance.

In the two-year history of this boat only seven Sailfish had ever been released, so nearly doubling that total in one day is amazing.

In more incredible is that Captain Fico managed to coordinate the fights, capture the bill and release all six Sailfish with no harm done to the fish.

Amazing work by Captain Fico and the Adventurer.

“The day was all about perseverance,” writes Patrick Vincent. “It was a little disheartening to see a giant blue marlin smash the teaser before we even had a bait in the water this morning. Then there was a slow morning bite.

Minutes after my afternoon nap, we were rewarded with a double header of sailfish. We quickly released twin 100lb Pacific sails.

Later in the day, we got to see one hell of a show. 200lb yellowfin tuna crashing sardines on the surface. I’ve never seen anything like 200lb yellow torpedoes going airborne while feeding!

What a great note to end our fishing on!

Well, the father/son billfish beatdown in Costa Rica has come to a close. We finished the week with 1 blue marlin, 2 striped marlin, and 11 sailfish. I’m back in Atlanta safe and sound, I guess it’s time to go back to the real world.
