Back to back Marina Pez Vela wins for Team Pura Vida! 🏆🏆 The 2026 IGFA Open and 2026 Pelagic Rockstar champions. Check out the full article below by Jack Vitek from Marlin Magazine.⬇️ “Quepos once again proved why it remains one of the most prolific billfish destinations on the planet, as the second annual IGFA Open delivered staggering numbers and tight competition—all in support of billfish conservation. Hosted at Marina Pez Vela in Costa Rica, this year’s event built on a strong debut, with the 30-boat fleet producing an eye-popping 1,206 billfish releases over two days of fishing. At the top of the leaderboard, Pura Vida, captained by Rudy Arguedas, kept the momentum rolling for their team with another dominant performance, racking up 7,600 points and fueled by an incredible Day One showing of 38 fish. Anglers Aileen Gonzalez, JC Gonzalez, Ericka Sandi, Sebastian Delgado, Armando Delgado and Evan Alonzo stayed consistent through the event, finishing with 72 sailfish and a blue marlin to secure the win.” #pelagic #igfa #tournament #offshorefishing #fishing
