Giant Sailfish Goes French 11-19-09

This was one of the biggest Sailfish I have ever seen weighing way over 180lbs. Sail’s like this one frequent these waters close in and in numbers this time of year because of the baby and large Dorado run. The Sailfish feed off the small Dorado while there cousins the Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, and Strip Marlin feed off the larger Dorado. Other fish that can be caught off Flamingo, Costa Rica are Wahoo, yellow fin tuna, and large Roosterfish this time of year. This new friend of mine got his hands full with this one and myself well I had to jump in with this monster. A common thing for the Capt. Jason “Mr. Trigger” Coffrin to do with a large Sailfish or Blue Marlin, Black Marlin or Stripe Marlin.

The Sail that stabbed Trigger in the water!
