Opening day was a success to say the least. We were joined by Brett and Kathryn from Texas while on their honeymoon and Kathryn had one fish on her mind. She was looking for her bucket list Marlin to hang on tue wall. It was pretty bumpy all day, but they weren’t giving up. We stopped at a current line 11 miles out and quickly put a couple nice mahi in the boat for dinner. It was clear we could have sat there all day with endless bites, but that wasn’t the mission. We headed off looking for cleaner water and found it around 27 miles. It wasn’t great water, but that’s tough to find right now. We live baited a floating platform we found for about an hour and ended up adding a couple yellowfin. The sharks got so bad we moved on. We picked thru some nice sized mahi and finally started seeing some bait. After shaking off several bonita we found what we wanted. Mr. Marlin showed up on the teaser. His bill was barely out of the water and we thought it was bonita picking at it. Once we realized what it was he faded off just to come back and explode on a lure. About an hour later, Kathryn released her dream fish and we turned it to the house. Final for the day 8 mahi, 2 tuna, and a 200+ lb blue. Nothing beats good fishing when you have folks on the boat that appreciate every aspect of it. It was a day I won’t soon forget and I don’t think either of them will either. This marlin will be living next to Brett’s elk at their new home … that has to be an impressive wall. #quepossportfishing #manuelantonio #marinapezvela#fishingcostarica #travelcostarica #fishing #billfish #squidnation #quepostackleshop #bigluresmatter
