A professional captain of 37 years, Richard started fishing the Tiburon SST reels full time 10 years ago, in many world famous marlin capitals including Mag Bay, Cabo San Lucas, East Cape, Lapaz, Puerto Vallarta, Panama, Guatemala and Costa Rica. Some of his most outstanding catches on Tiburon SST reels include a 750lb Blue Marlin on a SST50W, 500lb Black Marlin on a SST 7540, a 314lb Yellow Fin Tuna on a SST 20, a 65lb Yellow Tail on a SST 7540 and a 85lb Roosterfish on a SST 8.
Richard has been heavily involved in the testing of the SST 50 for 3 years before it was launched and has landed many marlins above 500lbs during this time.
