Syracuse.com - Skaneateles man reels in large corvina while fishing in Costa Rica

[HuntingNY-News]

It weighed about 30 pounds. Some of the locals I talked to said this is very big; one saying he had never seen one that large.

My buddy, Jack Haggerty, of Skaneateles, has a retirement home down in Costa Rica. When he goes there during the winter months, he likes to fish. He sent me this photo of a huge corvina that he caught last week.

He wrote: It weighed about 30 pounds. Some of the locals I talked to said this is very big; one saying he had never seen one that large.

"Don't know about all that, but it was fun to catch and we still have some left after feeding 14 people and giving some away.

"Caught in near the islands just off Playa Danta, which is about a mile north of us. You can see the islands from our deck. I caught it with a Rapalla 14 Mag Dorado. Sounds like you are getting quite a storm (back in Central New York).

"Pura Vida!"
