Third trip fishing out of Playa Flamingo Costa Rica and the best day in the water I have ever had!
We Fish with the same crew everytime (The WetAss II) and these fellas know how to get on fish!!!
We had a 17 mile run to get to the fish but once the lines were in the water we had constant action. First fish was on after about 10 minutes and my 13 year old son got to feel his wrath! It was quite the battle with the fish surfacing a half dozen times or so before Ryder finally wore him out. This was his second sail fish ever and a beauty at 92”
Lines back in the water after about a 20 minute fight and almost immediately we were hooked up on fish 2!!! My brother grabbed the rod and went to work. Another great fight and this fish was mad at the world! He probably came out of the water 15x during the battle and made several long runs. Again after a 15 minute fight fish 2 was landed
Lines back in the water and 5 minutes later zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz - fish 3 was on and I was up! I always forget how powerful these fish are and how fun they are to fight and this one did not disappoint!!! After beating me up for a little bit I finally started making ground on him. As he got within 20yds of the boat he decided he was going to put on a show and came out of the water a handful of times! I finally landed him and looked at my brother and said - this might have to slow down a bit or we are going to be wore out
My comment to my brother was short lived as we were hooked up again less than 5 minutes after getting the lines back in the water!!! My son was back to work and put fish 4 in the boat! 9:45 and we had landed 4 sails already!!! This trend continued all day long!
One of the highlights of the trip was mid morning when my brother and I got on a double. What an amazing sight to see massive fish going airborne at the same time. The captain and crew were awesome working with us on the double and we were able to land them both!!!
All in all we fished 7 hrs and raised 16 sails! 13 of them were hooked up and we landed 12 of the 13!!! What an unbelievable day! We also had a huge Blue Marlin chasing baits but could never get him to hit but was cool to see him work!
If anyone ever heads to CR give me a shout and I will hook you up with a world class captain and crew!!!
