Called the 'fish magnet' because he seems to attract fish on every charter, Bobby McGuinness (left) now captains the Cazador, a superbly fitted 37-foot Merritt customized for fishing in Costa Rica. He fishes permanently out of Golfito, where he has solidified his reputation as one of Costa Rica’s best captains.

Bobby McGuinness is the latest in a long line of world-class captains who have helped put Costa Rica fishing in a prominent position on the world-wide fishing map. The IGFA world's top captain of 2006 never fails to meet expectations.

Not only is he the world's best captain of 2006, Bobby is a great teacher - here he is with his daughter Cristina, who caught this gorgeous red snapper.	You can see his clients are pleased: Bobby and the dorado they caught while fishing in Costa Rica and later ate for dinner are front and center.
Darius Petrauskas and his wife came all the way from Lithuania to fish three days with Bobby, and this snapper was one of his many rewards.	Bobby McGuinness hoists this pretty red snapper his modest client landed last year on a very satisfying Costa Rica fishing vacation in Golfito.
A beautiful sight to behold. This mullet snapper landed by one of Bobby's repeat customers is one of the largest ever caught in the South Pacific.	This splendid 400lb marlin was brought to the boat shortly after this photo was taken during an exciting Costa Rica fishing trip with Bobby.
