Ezequiel Amaya:

Capt. Ezequiel Amaya tournament record is enviable. His teams have taken first place honors in many tournaments in the last 10 years, in addition to numerous "top-five" finishes and individual angler awards. He is considered one of the "top skipper" in Costa Rica.

In more recent years Ezequiel was the 2005 Costa Rica Classic winner.

"QUEPOS, Costa Rica (March 24, 2004) – Four teams were tied in points after a prolific two days of fishing but a trio of Florida men, two from Ft. Lauderdale, and a third from Naples, were declared the winners, based on time in the Costa Rica Classic International Billfish Tournament.

Dominick Pagano and Bill Olsen both of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., along with Steve Blount, Naples, Fla., caught three sailfish for 100 points each and two marlin at 500 points apiece for a grand total of 1300 points. The tie among the 1300 point finishers was broken based on the time the last fish was caught. The winning team was guided by Capt. Ezquiel Amaya, Costa Rica."
