There really is no better sight than a big sailfish or a huge Costa Rican marlin, jumping straight out of the water, dancing as if it were out of the water, dancing as if it were running on its tail. Once you have decided who will be the first to shoot this flying brute, you will be given a fishing belt that is used for sails and smaller species, or you may need the saddle…which in Costa Rica is good sport fishing. Hooking up with a marlin, which weighs between 200 and 700 pounds, means you’re in for a long fight! These battles have been known to last up to 4 or 5 hours and you must bring your “A” set if you want to be the winner in this crazy ballet. Sailfish, dorado, wahoo, and yellowfin tuna offer a thrilling catching experience.
