My assignment in Florida finally wrapped up and I decided to take some time off and visit Costa Rica (Arenal Volcano is beautiful). Spent some time in Quepos and had a great couple of days on the water. It was my girlfriend's first time deep sea fishing outside of a couple times on the party boats in Stuart. Had some bad luck with getting sails hooked up raising 14 and getting 6 hookups, landing 4. Also, the hook pulled on a 25+ lb dolphin to start the day, but we managed to get a smaller one for her later in the day. Overall, a great first day for her. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spent a half day going for roosterfish which is an interesting experience to say the least. You're bump trolling live baits within feet of cliffs and islands in the wash of the waves crashing against the rocks. We both managed to get our first Roosterfish. They are obviously related to amberjacks and fight very similar. The drag on my first fish was broken which made the fight even longer. It was buttoned down as tight as it would go and was still only putting about 5 lbs worth of drag on the line. 

 

 

Very very jealous. Congrats on the awesome trip
