COSTA RICA FISHING

A REALLY BIG FISH STORY!



Here’s a riddle: What does a Costa Rica fishing story and George Washington have in common?

They cannot tell a lie.



See the Costa Rica Marlin in the pic? Swimming at 68 miles an hour, it can be 16 feet long and weigh 1500 pounds--and its cousin is that little trout you ate at the restaurant.

I tell you true.

Marlins are closely related to freshwater trout. Just a teeny bit faster, a mite longer, a smidge heavier.

But more fun to catch.

There are lots of wonderful places to fish on your Costa Rica vacation.

And lots of fish stories.

True stories.
