Recent News: Playboy
Magazine picks Gamefisher II
as the number one boat!
Our mission is to please our
customers. Here are a couple of
comments about us and
there are
more on our Testimonial Page. On their second trip in the past two
years, Henry Kolbusz Sr., from
Weston, Connecticut recently fished
7 days out of Playa Carrillo with
sons Tom and Henry Jr.
They scored
70 Sailfish releases, 5 Blue Marlin
and 26 Dorado. Although most of the
Dorado were released they still
sampled every kind of Dorado dish
the local chefs knew how to prepare.
We had a hell of a good time," said
Henry.
Fishing
with Captain Richard Chellemi on

unique and enjoyable experience.
Not only is Gamefisher2 the
most meticulously maintained
sport fisher on the Pacific
coast of Costa Rica but Captain
Richard is a veteran that
possesses local knowledge that
few others can live up to. If
you plan on traveling to Costa
Rica with fishing in mind
whether it be for a tournament
or just for fun be sure to look
up Captain Richard Chellemi and
treat yourself to a trip on
board Gamefisher2. You'll be
glad you did! David R. Keen

The Harry
Gray Fly Tournament January 26-29, 2004, Quepos, Costa
Rica
Phenomenal Harry Gray Tourney
Delivers "Free Spooling"
By Jerry Ruhlow
jruhlow@costaricaoutdoors.com The Gamefisher2 has captured 1st
place in the 5 consecutive years
that they entered Costa Ricas
largest annual fly fishing billfish
tournament, previously under the
name, Billy Pate Saltwater fly
Tournament, now known as the Harry
Gray Fly Tournament. The Gamefisher
II has also been top boat 5 of the 7
years that they fished the
Presidential Challenge Costa Rica
Tournament. (PCCR)
Results of the Harry Gray Memorial
Fly Fishing Tournament at Quepos
Jan. 26-29 were little short of
phenomenal, with 33 anglers catching
and releasing a total of 333
sailfish and one striped marlin, and
doing it all on a fly rod. This was
the most productive competition in
the four-year history of the
tournament, beating last year's
total count of 327 fish released. Winning team
of Jeff McFadden and Gallagher,
fishing on the Gamefisher2 with
skipper Richard Chellemi, finished
in first place for the second year
in a row with 39 releases. They
fished with Richard last year as
well. Third place
behind Joe Dowdell were Nick Smith
and Jim Gill, also with 28 releases
between them, but Joe had his 28
sails in and out of the water first.
They were aboard the Old Reliable.
This was the Fourth Annual Harry
Gray Memorial Tournament, which has
donated more than $40,000 over the
years to the Liver Transplant Center
for Children here in Costa Rica.
Tournament chairman Marcia Bennett
said fishermen in the competition
last year funded nine liver
transplants for Costa Rica children,
and all survived. This year's
donation of $15,000 to the center
will assure a longer and happier
life for children here.
Sportfishing

charter trip of a lifetime. Whether it is
