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

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

THE BILLFISH BLITZ: Down to the Last Bait! Each exit has its own mystique, but today's was a separate chapter. Our visitors arrived with a mission engraved in the eyes: Bills. They did not seek to "see what was stinging"; they came for the great acrobats of the blue, the majestic Sailfish. The drama was not long in coming. The action was so intense that we were about to run out of bait; we were literally left with the last pieces in the nursery. But as they say, success is usually hidden in the last attempt. With the pressure at maximum, we managed to close a spectacular task: five Sailfish released and a Mahi-Mahi that guaranteed, once again, that today you don't eat chicken at home. ❌ The most special thing of the day was the human connection with the sea. Both clients had the opportunity to free their adversaries directly from the surface, feeling the strength and life of the fish next to them before seeing it return to the abyss. Note of humility: Although the numbers were large, the sea always reminds us that no one is perfect. The score of "Sancochos" (failed piques) today was like this: Captain 5 - Sailor 3. Even the experts miss the best ones sometimes! The important thing is that laughter and adrenaline were never lacking. Fishing Report: The High-Stakes Session * Technique: Billfish Trolling * Location: Offshore, Costa Rican Pacific * The Vibe: High focus, dramatic bait management, and soul-stirring releases. The Scoreboard: * 5 Sailfish Released: Victory at the water level. * 1 Mahi-Mahi: The golden ticket to a gourmet dinner. * The "Sancocho" Count: A humble reminder that the fish won 8 rounds today! #BillfishPursuit #SailfishCostaRica #MathisLegends #NoChickenTonight #SportfishingLife #PuraVida #CloseEncounter #BaitOnTheBrink #AnglerApproved
