With the 2014 Los Suenos Triple Crown Tournament coming up in January, anglers are taking advantage of the fall fishing season to go after the coveted Fishing Grand Slam, which can only be topped by the Super Grand Slam!
To achieve these bragging rights you must catch 3 of the following species: Swordfish, Spearfish, Sailfish or one or more of the Marlin family of Blue, White, Black and Striped Marlin, and all in a one day fishing charter. Another perk of the Grand Slam Achievement besides the thrill of going after these elite fish is that under the IGFA rules you do not have to weigh the fish in as you would with a world record.
As a world class sport fishing location, Costa Rica offers fishing enthusiasts a chance to go after these elusive big title fish with a surge of adrenalin as you reel them in. Check out the charter boats available for your quest to achieve the Fishing Grand Slam.

Did you know that Costa Rica has more than 100 fishing world records? These records include fly, tackle and line fishing. The country’s Pacific offshore coast is home to fish – including snapper, yellowfin tuna and more – that weigh between 4 and 400 pounds. No wonder Costa Rica is a world class fishing destination!
