Trip Summary

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

When "enough" is never enough, the Pacific delivers. Yesterday the sea put us to the test, but today it returned the favor more than enough. We return to action with a clear objective: to satisfy the fishing hunger of a real "fever". Our guest today had already tried his luck in other nearby boats, but his passion demanded more... and in Mathis Fishing Legends, we know exactly how to turn up the volume. What followed was a session of pure resistance. We lost count of the Amberjacks after number 20; it was one battle after another, a force parade that put every reel on board to the test. When you have a fisherman who doesn't know tiredness, the ocean simply opens its doors. But not everything was a fight, there was also a reward for the palate. We secure two beautiful Spanish Mackerels and a Needlefish with a characteristic flavor, ensuring that today's menu is first-class. As we say around here: Another day without chicken for dinner! Nothing surpasses the taste of what you yourself have fought in the blue. Fishing Report: The "Fiebre" Session * Technique: Bottom Fishing & Jigging * Location: Coastal Reefs, Costa Rica * The Vibe: Relentless action, muscle vs. fish, and culinary success. The Scoreboard: * 20+ Amberjacks: (We honestly stopped counting!). * 2 Spanish Mackerels: Freshly caught for the grill. * 1 Needlefish: A unique addition to the feast. #AmberjackInvasion #FishingFiebre #MathisLegends #NoChickenTonight #SpanishMackerel #PuraVida #SportfishingCostaRica #FreshCatch #AnglerApproved

DIVINE PROVIDENCE: When Faith breaks
DIVINE PROVIDENCE: When Faith breaks
February 11, 2026
A day without an agenda that ended in glory. There are mornings that begin with a whisper in the soul. Although we did not have a scheduled departure, we arrived at the dock early, complying with the routine of those who love their job. Our faith told us that the day would not end in silence, and so it was: Providence put us on the road to a couple who came from a difficult streak at sea. What they did not know is that their luck was about to change aboard the Mathis. ✨ The afternoon was, once again, a lesson in temper. The wind was blowing with a force that discouraged anyone, and the reports coming from other excursions were discouraging. But after an honest analysis between the Captain and our visitors, we decided that the Pacific still had a gift for us. Here comes the good thing: Just an hour after releasing moorings, defying the wind and the odds, the chicharra broke the wind. We crowned the first Sailfish of the afternoon in record time! An epic task that reminded us that, when experience joins with faith, the results are not long in coming. Fishing Report: The "Last-Minute" Miracle • Technique: High-Wind Precision Trolling • Location: Costa Rican Pacific • The Vibe: Faith-driven, strategic, and triumphant. The Result: • 1 Majestic Sailfish: Hooked and released within the first hour. • The Victory: Success where others found empty reels. • The Lesson: Always be ready. When the "Provider" calls, the sea responds. #FaithFishing #SailfishCostaRica #MathisLegends #AgainstTheWind #PuraVida #SportfishingLife #DivineTiming #AnglerApproved #CostaRicaAdventure
