“Great time had by all, here are some pictures from our 7/2 trip on Wanderer.” writes Jeff Beall.

Check out this monster:

Later on they encountered a school of big Yellowfin Tunas.

Each of the boys tackled a Yella Fella of their own on this trip.

First Mate Alex is always trying new things, and for these big Tunas he likes to vent them of their blood immediately after the catch using a strong rope and a small incision above the tail.

This keeps the boat clean, preserves ice, and most importantly produces a blast of oxygen-rich blood into the spread which attracts more bites.

Great work by this hard-fishing family!

Client Max Kellogg scored a mighty Marlin with the flagship Wanderer on May 2.

This high-flying monster put up a heck of a fight, but Max kept the heat on her aided by Captain William’s masterful boat handling:

Look carefully at the :08 mark…How the heck does he keep perfect pace to keep the Marlin alongside while still sneaking out from behind the wheel to take this picture?

Cause he is a badass. That’s how.

Nice fish-handling by First Mate Alex to see the fish and angler safely separated to fight another day.

Max followed up this fish of a lifetime with a few Sailfish releases.

Then they closed out the day with a picture-perfect Rooster fish release.

“We just got back.ย  Got a 300# Blue, 2 decent sized Sailfish, and a nice Rooster, probably 40#+. ย  Lost a couple of small dorado. ย  ย Came in about 2:30. ย  Great trip – perfect conditions!”

It’s unusual for us to get an email from a client mere minutes after they get back to shore, but Roy Jackson hit us up with the email titled: Awesome Day!

“4 sails and one 400 lb marlin. Got some great HD video of the marlin on the gopro. That was a long 45 minutes to land it.“

Now let’s enjoy some photos from this fight:

 

The rest of the day had strong action for Roy and the whole family.

The kids really put on a show with a Double Sailfish release, expertly coordinated by First Mate Alex.

It’s always great to see youngsters posting such great results. Fantastic fishing day by the Jackson family and the mighty Wanderer!

We got a great note from Becky once she got back to Florida:
“Cant wait to tell you all about the trip.ย  William and Alex will always be number one to us…..just way too much fun in a week!!ย  We finally captured the elusive rooster fish, the morning Andy was on his way to the airport….laughed about that!”

“Have some great underwater shots we took with the gopro too!ย  Total count for the week is 21 sails released (could have been more, but we targeted Marlin our last day with four teasers and one big lure…..no Marlin but no worries…….too much fun trying!)”ย 

“The second day we fished and released 10 sails (once again, if we wanted more it would have been no problem, but we wanted to enjoy one fish at a time because Alexa and Crystian had never done it).ย  We did reel up a double with Andy and Minton because we could!ย  Best family vacation ever!”

Kyle Sawicki and Lindsay Sawicki Powell ain’t scared of a little off-season Extreme Panga Fishing.

Check out this madness:

At 4:00 this nasty Black Marlin evades capture, skyrockets past the motor, and breaks off the leader.

At 4:10 the Marlin comes up to wave good-bye. Insane!

These Jacksonville anglers for a fun-filled five hour trip on the Explorer…after a pair of early Marlins on the line, they kept at it and their efforts were rewarded with a cooler full of delicious Dorados.

Four big Dodos, a few Bonita, and a small Cierro Mackeral on ice…All in a day’s work from the unbeatable Super panga Explorer!

Charlie Phillips’ posse saved the best for last, as on their final day of fishing on the Wanderer they scored a DOUBLE MASSIVE Marlin release.

We have some great video of this beast so look out for the full account on the next FishingNosara DVD due out this month.

The crew also added to their pile of filets…after a great day inshore on the 14th, they caught a whole bunch of filets to take home on the 15th.

The Wanderer is closing in on the final bell of the season like a thoroughbred and clients like Charlie Phillips’ group are feeling pumped to be along for the ride.

On August 13 scored two more wonderful Sailfish release for this Florida-based fishing posse.

For Kim Ponzio, this was her first ever billfish release and she fought it well all the way to the boat.

Great releases by First Mate Alex underscored Captain William’s keen hunting instincts as once again the flagship delivers the goods!

August 8 was a fantastic day on the Wanderer for Team Gerzeny. First up was a crazy Sailfish release for Mike Gerzeny…the video on this one is one wild ride:

Then, the rains came:

Captain Zack Gerzeny and young Christopher Gerzeny showed no fear in the face of the storm, each registering big Sailfish releases.

Great work by the Master Captain William and the unstoppable First Mate Alex to brave big billfish and whistling winds to bring home the big ones for their clients.
