Affectionately known as “Juanga”.  Captain Lopez was born in La Guaira, Venezuela - a famous marlin fishing town. A lover of the sea, Juanga started his formal fishing career in 1990 at the age of 15. His extensive career includes recognition in 1997, 1998 and 1999, by the IGFA Billfish Foundation, as its top “White Marlin Crew”. In 2001, Juanga was aboard the NuCo2, with Captain Mitchell Pierson, when they released a total of 1,017 sailfish while fishing for 71 days off of Costa Rica. It’s possible that you might have seen him on ESPN2, where Captain Lopez’s boat at that time (A-Fin-Ity) won the “Billfish Extreme Release League” tournament two years in a row (2002 and 2003). During the last several years, Captain Lopez has continued to fish the Pacific Ocean off of Guatemala, Costa Rica and El Salvador. He has gone on to numerous awards and tournament victories, to many to list.  He is one of the most highly decorated Pacific Ocean Captains still taking guests on trips. In 2016 Juanga was featured in Marlin Magazine for passing 30,000 billfish releases, and has since eclipsed that number.
