THE FAITH RUN: When the Ocean Rewards the Brave When others saw a storm, we saw a miracle. The day began with the echo of the cancellations. “Bad weather,” they said. But there is a voice stronger than that of the forecast: that of the Father of Glory reminding us that He has the helm. With that conviction, we set sail an hour later than usual, not with doubts, but with armored hope. ✨ The wind, although strong, let us work. At 10:20 AM, the first Sailfish tore the horizon, reminding us that success belongs to those who dare to release moorings. Shortly after, the sea taught us a lesson in humility: a giant who decided to “do his own thing” and burst the line in the blink of an eye. ? But there was no room for lament, because the day was just beginning. By 12:45 PM, the bill was already talking for itself: four majestic Sailfish that gave us respectable fights and moments of pure adrenaline. What started as a “lost” day ended as an epic session. In the end, it wasn’t just fishing; it was a demonstration that when you trust the process, the results are simply heavenly.

THE PACIFIC REALITY CHECK: More than just a Boat When the "Big Leagues" meet the Costa Rican Salt. There seems to be a common symptom among fishermen who have traveled the world: overconfidence. Many arrive believing that, having sailed in other latitudes, they already know all the tricks of the "Old Sea Wolf". But the Costa Rican Pacific does not read resumes or be impressed by the size of the boats; here, the only thing that counts is the real connection with the water. Having a boat doesn't make you a captain, like having a rod doesn't make you a fisherman. The sea welcomed us with a quick lesson: a Sailfish that attacked with fury and, with the same elegance with which he arrived, said goodbye leaving the line loose. It was the "entry tax" for our visitor. But the ocean also knows how to reward persistence. After probing our trust points, the crack sang again. This time, the trophy was an atypical Sailfish, a true living work of art with vibrant hues that lit up its belly and main candle in a natural neon display. As a great character of our land would say: ¡Qué belleza de animal! A jewel that reminded us that, in these waters, the sea always has the last word. Fishing Report: The Humble Masterclass * Technique: Precision Trolling * Location: Offshore, Costa Rica * The Vibe: Reality checks and unexpected beauty. Catch of the Day: * 1 Atypical Sailfish: Unique iridescent coloration (Released). * 1 Lost Battle: A reminder to never lower the guard. #CostaRicaFishing #Sailfish #OldSeaWolf #MathisLegends #PuraVida #Sportfishing #OffshoreAdventure #QueBellezaDeAnimal #AnglerApproved

THE MATE’S GAMBLE: A 60lb Southern Legend When intuition outruns the wind. The challenge of the day was clear: to satisfy the ambition of a group of veteran fishermen who are not satisfied with little. However, when we arrived at Punta Conejo, the wind greeted us like an impassable wall. It seemed that the task was slipping out of our hands between the gusts and the waves. That's when the team's synergy shone. While Captain Sullin sailed the blizzard, his sailor made a bold bet: "To the south." Where the wind gives up and only the most seasoned locals, with their rolls of rope and stone patience, dare to throw. Sullin, with all his wisdom, trusted his team's instinct. The sailor saw what only a trained eye can see: birds in abundance but in calm and bait moving like a war dance. In the middle of commercial boats, we find our sanctuary. What emerged from the depths after a tense silence left us breathless. A colossal structure, an imposing Roosterfish of about 60 pounds that stopped time. Seeing that iconic crest tear the water was the "bell" of victory that saved the day and reminded us that, in this trade, mastery is a journey where there is always a new spot to discover. Fishing Report: The South Coast Save * Technique: Coastal Trolling / Live Bait * Location: South of Punta Conejo, Costa Rica * The Vibe: Teamwork, intuition, and "Buzzer Beater" glory. The Catch of the Day: * 1 Trophy Roosterfish: Estimated 50-60 lbs.
