An amazing marlin.
It’s simple. Costa Rica is a small nation, however it holds 101 world records, according to the 2004 IGFA World Record Game Fishes. In detail… 22 all tackle, 59 line test and 20 fly fishing world records. That is a very good reason to fish here. Here are the records from our fishery, the Pacific waters around Quepos: 1 all tackle record for a Pacific Barracuda (Sphyraena argentea); 1all tackle record for a Pacific Black Snook (Centropomus nigrescens); 2 line test records for Blue Marlin (Makaira nigricans); 2 line test records for Pacific Snook (Centropomus spp); 1line test record for Cubera Snapper (Lutjanus novemfasciatus); 1 line test record for Bluefin Trevally (Carnx melampygus); and finally 2 fly fishing records for Sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus). 10 % of these of the Costa Rican records have been established in waters around Quepos.
