Heidi caught this amazing 84-pound Yellowfin Tuna by herself on medium-heavy spinning tackle (Penn Spinfisher V 7500) using 35# Braid to win the Day 1 Calcutta of the 2023 Ship of Fools Tournament out of Playa Garza, Costa Rica, 03/31/23! The fishing was incredible!
The day before the tournament, Heidi caught a 250# Blue Marlin, a 125# Pacific Sailfish, several 20# class Mahi, and had a giant Yellowfin Tuna on that was likely over 100# before we lost it with a broken hook. Good times!
A huge shout-out to FishingNosara.com and Nosara Paradise Rentals for making the fishing and our stay in Costa Rica (our 4th time!) as perfect as it could have been! A 1st class operation and we highly recommend going!!
