Took a trip with the family as one last hurrah before the oldest boy heads off to college in the fall. Wife wanted some place tropical so we ended up in Costa Rica, with half the trip split between the Lake Arenal area and Herradura/Los Suenos on the Pacific side. Booked a trip with Capt. Tom out of Los Suenos and we were not disappointed. I'm not an offshore guy by any stretch, I've only been a handful of times and gotten sick all but once. This trip was 4-6' swells that were pretty far apart, not terrible but 3 of us did get a bit woozy. I chummed the waters a bit but still hung in there when it was my time behind the rod. I may post some more pics of the trip later but wanted to share these. Honestly never thought I would ever catch a Billfish....we caught 3 along with about 9 yellowfin. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/07/full-1562-426449-57c33287_7d56_44b6_93e0_a0b8ec81d9be.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/07/full-1562-426450-4930b50d_0f52_416c_9374_89e9af8aae9b.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/07/full-1562-426451-8f0cb27a_aad5_4628_9ff6_5421487e30f5.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/07/full-1562-426452-img_0250.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/07/full-1562-426453-img_0286.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/07/full-1562-426454-img_0340.jpg)
