Step into the world of Pelagic Pro Team Captain, Josh Temple, as he and the Carol Libby crew ply Costa Rica’s fertile Pacific waters on a quest to be THE BEST. Filmed exclusively in extreme high definition, watch the epic footage unfold as Capt. Josh and crew converge on the single season blue marlin record right before your very eyes… In Part II, after breaking the single-season blue marlin release record of 422, Capt. Josh and the team aboard Carol Libby continue to bolster their blue marlin resume. While recording unheard of stats, including multiple 30+ blue marlin release days, the team was able to accumulate a mind-boggling 884 releases in just over 8-months of fishing! In doing so, Capt.
