FISHED IN COSTA RICA ON 3/4 ON THE FRENZY. GREAT DAY ON A GREAT BOAT. HEADED OUT IF THE MARINA AT ABOUT 7:30 ON A 35' CUSTOM SPORTFISHER WITH TWIN CAT DIESELS. FISHED WITH TLD 25'S AND TYRNOS REELS ON CUSTOM RODS. HEADED N/W FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR AT 25 KNTS. THEY FISH FOR THEIR BAIT (SMALL SKIPPIES) WHEN YOU GET TO THE GROUNDS WITH PLANERS FOLLOWED BY SMALL HOOKED FEATHERS. CAUGHT BAIT IMMEDIATELY AND OUT THEY WENT. WITHIN 5 MINUTES WE HAD A DOUBLE OF SAILS. MY WIFE AND I HAD A BALL FIGHTING THESES FISH BUT I LOST MINE DO TO A TANGLE WITH HERS, BUT WHEN THE MATES HAD HERS BOATSIDE MY LINE AND THE FISH WAS STILL THERE WE LET IT GO SO WE COULD DEAL WITH HERS AND GET SOME PICS. WE HAD 4 MORE FISH IN THE NEXT HOURS AND THEN THINGS SLOWED TO A CRAWL. FOR ABOPUT THE NEXT 4 HOURS WE TROLLED A HOLE IN THE OCEAN BUT I WAS ALREADY CONTENT HAVING MY SAILS TO THE BOAT. THE MATES TRIED TO GET SOME CUBBERA SNAPPER WITH NO LUCK WHEN THE LIVEY THEY HAD IN THE WATER GOT PICKED UP BY THE BIG FISH OF THE DAY AND THE FIGHT WAS ON. I FOUGHT THE FISH FORN ABOUT 15 MINUTES WHILE THE CAPTAIN BACKED DOWN ON IT. GOT HIM BOATSIDE AND TOOK A COUPLE OF PICS AND THER MTES ESTIMTED IT AT 110 LBS. HAD ONE MORE QUICK FISH AND THEN IT WAS A DAY. A GREAT TRIP AND HAD A TOTAL OF 8 SAILS.
