I wanted to thank you again for all of your help on our trip. We had a great day on the water with Richard, Diego and Scooby and I look forward to getting back out there to get those Marlin. Everyone you recommended did a great job and all of the accommodations were great and had amazing views including the Volcano Inn. I also have to thank you for the amazing food on the boat. I have been on many boats and you by far provided the best food as well. That bean dip was the most amazing we have ever had. What kind of beans were those?
Thanks again,
Anthony

I can't begin to tell you how much fun we had for our two days with you. Junior and the crew were great along with the boat and food. The snorkeling was a blast, too. I have been out on guide trips were the fishing was awful but we had a blast, and a few times I have been out where the fishing was fantastic but had a horrible time, it is a rare treat to get both great fishing and a crew that goes above and beyond. Thanks again, and if I am ever down again we will be sure to hook up again.
PS: The bean dip was delicious, I have to try to give it a shot at making it for the first Penn State game, it was one of the best things I ate down there!!

"Subject:   Greetings from the Faulkners
 Web site looks great - makes you want to go fishing... and a lot more. Appears you have expanded your activities and services.
  Melissa - Our group still enjoys reminiscing about your hospitality - allowing us to use your home to clean up following our day of fishing. Arranging for our wives to meet us at the beach restaurant near your home and for us to have a fabulous meal at the hill top resort where your son was working. I believe your expanded offerings will be well received.
  Many ask about our travels and and fishing in Costa Rica - I always tell them - there is only one boat to fish in CR - here is the website - make sure the Gamefisher II is available, then adjust your travel plans to fit."
We will be back, Blessings,
Von and Dorsi Faulkner

"Subject: Awesome Trip!!!
  We had an absolutely awesome trip with Junior, Javier and Max. On the third day we set the boat's record for the most # of sails released on fly ever - 14 of 22 hooked. We raised probably 30 fish, plus caught a tuna. What a phenomenal day!!!
  Junior's skills as Captain are superb - you are fortunate to have him work with you!....Our trip was a complete success and my friends and I are making plans to make this an annual event. .......It was a remarkable trip!"

"Dear Richard,
   ....I wanted to take this opportunity to personally thank you for your personal efforts, skill and expertise in providing Dan, Gwen, Charlene and myself perhaps the singularly most fantastic vacation we have ever had. I knew the first morning I met you that your attention to detail and your enthusiasm was certainly going to show us an exceptional time but I had no idea just how exceptional it would be....I know the four of us will return next August..... without a doubt the biggest fishing thrill I have ever experienced...
Robert J. Burnside, Clearwater, FL

"Dear Captain Chellemi and Junior,
.....I knew instinctively, when I first met you, that we were certainly going to catch fish -- and catch fish we did, 15 was my last count!!
  Everything about our trip to Costa Rica was wonderful and exciting, but certainly the highlight for both of us, and the main reason we came, was to catch Sailfish! You guys made that possible, and we will be forever grateful..."
Harry Ong, Sarasota FL


When Sport Fishing Magazine
did a feature article on
"Fly Fishing for Billfish",
Gamefisher2  was featured
and on the cover. We were
there for a reason.

"Dear Richard
   Thanks again for an outstanding time! You and Junior make the trip and the fishing is a double bonus. I was told by every Captain in the tournament that you are the best in the business and that is really special coming from your professional peers. You have a reputation for being technical about your fishing and yet having fun. You should be extremely proud."
Alan Holcomb, Orlando, FL

"Dear Junior and Richard,
   Thank you both for the excellent fishing trip. It was the most fun I've ever had in my whole life. Both of you made it fun for me and my Granddad.... Richard, thanks for letting me come up top and showing me all the equipment. The GPS is really cool. And thanks for calling my name and i'd turn around and you had a fish for me to reel in.... Thanks again for such a good time. I'm sure you guys hear it all the time, but you're the best."
Sincerely, Troy Guft

"Dear Richard,
   What a trip!... We all learned a lot from you and really appreciated the time you took with us to teach us how to really hook the big ones! I'll never forget marlin...."
Bob Bond, Jacksonville, FL
