Captain Jason “Butterfly”, is no stranger to the waters of Flamingo and Carrillo, Costa Rica. With three offshore world records to his name—including two sailfish and one marlin—as well as one of the largest roosterfish ever caught inshore, Capt Jason's reputation as a Big Game hunter speaks for itself.

After spending 11 years guiding in the region before his retirement in 2017, Capt. Jason continued to expand his expertise across the globe. He fished the Pacific waters of Hawaii alongside Capt. Russel Tanaka of Magic Sportfishing, explored the blue currents of Fiji with Capt. Mike Hennessey, and navigated the Bahamian islands aboard multiple vessels—learning, refining, and perfecting his craft with every adventure.

Among his most meaningful achievements was his friendship and mentorship with the late Capt. Bart Miller of Black Bart Lures & Hook Harmeling of The Billfish Report. Together Bart & Jason fished the Bahamas and West Palm, and even took home a victory at Capt. Miller’s final marlin tournament. From casual bass trips to long conversations over burgers and beers, Capt. Jason absorbed invaluable lessons that continue to...

Together Bart & Jason fished the Bahamas and West Palm, and even took home a victory at Capt. Miller’s final marlin tournament. From casual bass trips to long conversations over burgers and beers, Capt. Jason absorbed invaluable lessons that continue to
shape his approach to the sport today. Hook, owner of the largest billfish report and tracking database, found Jason on the internet doing his thing catching Black Marlin on the regular. After coming down to Costa Rica numerous times they became close friends despite the fact that The Billfish Report allows Hook to fish with anyone anywhere he chooses

Now back on the waters of Costa Rica, Capt.Jason brings that same passion, knowledge, and dedication to Sportfishing. Alongside first mate Jorge, he carries forward a legacy of excellence and excitement that clients will feel in every cast and every catch.
