Heidi and Jim O’Calligan took the Explorer offshore for some extreme panga fishing on the 19th and they found Sailfish stacked up and ready for battle.

This Double Sailfish release set the tone for a day full of bent rods.

Heidi rounded out the day’s trophy releases with a tasty Yellowfin Tuna for the dinner table. Excellent work by Captain Fico and the super panga Explorer.

The Wanderer delivered the fish of a lifetime to Heidi O’Calligan on the 18th. Check out this amazing Marlin release:

Jim O’Calligan added a near-floor sweeper Dorado for the dinner table.

The group also bested this high-flying Sailfish. Another great release.

“I was most pleased to take the traditional celebratory dunk in celebration of my FIRST BLUE MARLIN!!!” Heidi wrote on Facebook. “Captain Rick Ryals did the honors! AND I caught and released ANOTHER BIG SAILFISH today too, #6!!! Needless to say I am sore from head to toe and I’m sporting some pretty impressive fisherman’s bruises. I’ll take them any day!!”
