Yellowfin and 15 Red Snappers Offshore

"How tough did they make it for us?" others might ask. In our case, we saw it as the perfect opportunity to put our crew to the test—and without sounding boastful, they are undoubtedly among the finest in Herradura Bay. The angler who joined us has fished practically everywhere she's wanted to: in both fresh and saltwater, across the Atlantic and the Pacific. Yet, everyone eventually comes to Costa Rica's Pacific coast with one pending score to settle. Our strategy was clear: if trolling didn't produce, we were dropping straight to the bottom. We tracked down a pod of spinner dolphins and hooked into two yellowfin tuna. We successfully landed a beautiful specimen measuring between 33.5 and 37.5 inches and weighing an estimated 30 to 45 pounds; the other one, as ocean lore goes, managed to slip away. To round out the day, we hit the reef and hauled up 15 red snappers on the bottom drop. An outstanding session on the water... though a true angler always leaves hungry for one more bite.
