Costa Rica Sport Fishing

The waters of Costa Rica are lengendary and the feisty game fish to be found here give anglers a rod bending fight to remember.

It's a sure bet that at least one International Game Fishing Association (IFGA) will be broken every season in Costa Rica.

Costa Rica holds the world record for marlin and sailfish catches in international tournament history. It also has posted more "grand slam" records (all three species of marling and or more sailfish caught in the same day) than anywhere else in the world. The country's strict catch and release policy ensures the continued health of the game fishing population for years to come.
