Trip Summary

Fishing Report — Roosterfish Afternoon Sessions Technique: Live bait Location: Nearshore – Costa Rica We start the day with preventive maintenance and with everything ready for action. Not even 30 minutes passed when we already had the second boy online - the first one let go early, but it still left us with our heart racing. What makes us most happy is that it was the customers themselves who took the lines, living the experience in their own flesh. The second roosterfish took almost two hours to reach the surface, since the pressure on the rope was at the limit. But with patience, technique and teamwork, it was achieved. Catch of the Day: 2/2 Roosterfish — hooked, fought, and respectfully released. #FishingReport #roosterfishAction #livebaitfishing #CostaRicainshore #CatchAndRelease #FishingLife

THE UNDERWATER HUNTER: Precision, Breath
THE UNDERWATER HUNTER: Precision, Breath
February 18, 2026
When the sea turns into a mirror, we dive into the blue. Today the Pacific gave us a dream setting: a sea in absolute calm, without a hint of wind, inviting us to explore its deepest secrets. When the water is this crystal clear, we decide to save the reeds and become part of the reef. We exchange the reels for hoops, fins and masks for a day of Spearfishing where precision is the only rule. It’s not just fishing; it’s choosing. It is to descend in a single breath, mix with the environment and select the perfect piece for the table. Today the “task” was fulfilled with honors, touring the volcanic structures to bring to the surface an unparalleled palette of flavors and textures. Today’s booty is pure tropical freshness. With a variety that includes from the fierce Triggerfish to the delicate Spadefish, the fate of these catches is already written: an exquisite ceviche that can only be achieved when the ingredient was swimming just a few minutes ago. Once again, nature provides and we celebrate. Spearfishing Report: The Reef Selection • Conditions: Calm sea, zero wind, perfect visibility. • The Hunt: Selective spearfishing at its finest. • The Reward: 100% fresh, sea-to-table experience. The Fresh Catch: • 1 Sea Chub (Chopa) • 1 Yellow Surgeonfish (Cirujano) • 1 Parrotfish (Pez Loro) • 1 Triggerfish (Cochino) • 1 Spadefish (Pez Pala) #SpearfishingCostaRica #UnderwaterBounty #MathisLegends #SeaToTable #CevicheTime #PuraVida #SpearLife #FreshCatch #DiveIn

SHORT, HOT & SALTY
SHORT, HOT & SALTY
February 17, 2026
When the heat is up, the grit comes out. Today was a day of "entry and exit", straight to the point. The Pacific welcomed us with a relentless sun and a strong southeast wind that stirred the waters, but the real challenge was not the weather, but the Needlefish. It seemed that they had agreed to sabotage the morning: they arrived only to do damage, hitting the bait with surgical precision and cutting lines before we could react. It was a constant technical duel against these fast bait "thieves" who put our patience and our riggings to the test. ⚔️ In approximately three and a half hours of battle under the heat, we managed to make two solid catches: a Needlefish that we did manage to hook and a fierce Jack Crevalle who gave the fight we were looking for. In the end, with the sun on high and the wind blowing hard, all that was left was to do what instinct dictates: To the water! A refreshing dip to close a short day but full of salt and adrenaline. Fishing Report: The Quick Strike Session * Technique: Casting & Inshore Trolling * Location: Nearshore, Costa Rican Pacific * The Vibe: Fast-paced, hot, and tactical. The Final Score: * 1 Jack Crevalle: The "muscle" of the afternoon. * 1 Needlefish: Landed despite the "cut-and-run" tactics of the rest of the school. * The Highlight: Beating the heat with a well-deserved jump into the Pacific. #NeedlefishDrama #JackCrevalle #QuickSession #MathisLegends #CostaRicaFishing #PuraVida #SaltLife #BeatTheHeat #AnglerApproved

RECORD BROKEN: The Great Roosterfish T
RECORD BROKEN: The Great Roosterfish T
February 15, 2026
A morning for the history books at Mathis Fishing Legends. Today we don't just go fishing; we go out to rewrite our own story. What we lived on the coast was one epic battle after another. Never before have we had such a productive day: 10 Roosterfish captured and released in a single morning! The action was so frantic that, before the sun reached its highest point, we were already in a "crisis of success": we almost ran out of bait! The attacks were constant, violent and precise. It was a display of power by the "Kings of the Crest" that left us all breathless and with exhausted arms, and the most incredible thing is that we hadn't even reached the afternoon! But the ocean had more surprises on the menu. In addition to our dozen champions, we added to the account three large Spanish Mackerels, four Needlefish and, to close with the cake, a Jack Crevalle who gave a fight worthy of a warrior. It has been a day of records, pure adrenaline and, of course, a lot of abundance. Once again, the Pacific confirms to us that when you search with faith and experience, the sea always responds. Fishing Report: The Record-Shattering Session • Technique: Coastal Trolling & Live Bait (High-intensity) • Location: Costa Rican Pacific Shorelines • The Vibe: Historical, fast-paced, and victorious. The Historic Scoreboard: • 10 Roosterfish: A new personal record for the Mathis crew! • 3 Spanish Mackerels: High-speed strikes and great flavor. • 4 Needlefish: Precision and silver flashes. • 1 Jack Crevalle: The ultimate reef brawler. #RoosterfishRecord #MathisFishingLegends #FishingHistory #CostaRicaFishing #PuraVida #JackCrevalle #SpanishMackerel #RecordBreakers #AnglerApproved
