Why do we have so many repeat guests?
Because no one delivers the experience quite like Pacific Fins.

From world-class crews and nonstop action to unforgettable moments shared with family and friends… this is what keeps anglers coming back year after year. Just ask Jimmy Rhodes and his crew — their smiles say it all.

This isn’t just fishing. This is the Pacific Fins Experience.

Live the Pacific Fins Experience.

The Guatemala Billfish Invitational just went full Nashville.

Biggest tournament of the year… and now the party just got a whole lot louder.

Pacific Fins welcomes Jimmy Charles – Celebrity Guest | Country Artist & Songwriter to the 11th Annual Guatemala Billfish Invitational.

Jimmy Charles is a rising force in country music whose powerful performances have earned him a rapidly growing fan base across the U.S. and beyond. Hailing from Ocean City, Maryland, Jimmy’s roots run deep in coastal culture, shaping both his music and his connection to life on the water.

A former American Idol standout, Jimmy has gone on to become a Top 40 songwriter (NSAI) and award-winning artist, with honors including Entertainer of the Year (ISSA) and Country Artist of the Year (Maryland Music Awards). His breakout hit, “They Grow Up Too Fast,” has surpassed 30 million streams globally, while his high energy performances have landed him on stages alongside artists like Eric Church, Riley Green,Jelly Roll, Dierks Bentley, and many more.

Within the sportfishing world, Jimmy has made serious waves with his fan favorite single “Fish On,” a song that has quickly become a trending hit across marinas, tournaments, and offshore crews. The track captures the adrenaline, camaraderie, and pure joy of the chase, resonating deeply with anglers and ocean lovers alike, and cementing Jimmy as a true voice of the fishing community.

Fans may also recognize Jimmy and his wife from their appearance on HGTV’s House Hunters (Season 240, Episode 2: “Fish On in Nashville”).

Whether he’s on stage or out on the water, Jimmy Charles brings energy, authenticity, and a genuine love for the lifestyle to every moment. He and his wife Miranda are especially excited to spend the week in Guatemala alongside fellow lovers of the sport.

Sunday - Funday

Nothing beats the moment a fired-up sailfish lights up behind the boat and starts dancing across the surface. The crew was hyped, the angler was locked in, and the action was absolutely nonstop.

This is the kind of offshore adrenaline that keeps anglers coming back to Pacific Fins year after year. Fast runs, wild jumps, and unforgettable memories on the water.

Live the Pacific Fins Experience.

One of our own from the ODF family @robert.dilallo just checked off a bucket list catch down at @pacificfins in Guatemala! Landing his FIRST Blue Marlin, stacking up sailfish, and even taking home the win with a bonus cow mahi in the Calcutta 🔥

This is what it’s all about… chasing big fish, making memories, and doing it with top tier crews. Huge shoutout to our sponsor @pacificfins for delivering a first-class experience from start to finish.

Who’s next? 👀

We’re officially opening registration for the 11th Annual Guatemala Billfish Invitational, and if it’s on your radar, now is the time to secure your spot.

To put things into perspective, here’s what last year looked like:

2025 Tournament Highlights (19 boats):
• 1,538 sailfish raises
• 1,305 sailfish bites
• 832 sailfish released
• 38 blue marlin raised
• 27 blue marlin bites
• 14 blue marlin released

These aren’t “good” numbers-this is what separates Guatemala from everywhere else. This is volume, consistency, and opportunity at a level that’s hard to replicate anywhere in the world.
But what really makes this week stand out is the experience around the fishing. A competitive but laid-back format, great group of anglers, and the kind of atmosphere that keeps teams coming back year after year.

If you’ve been before, you already know. If you haven’t-this is the one you don’t want to miss.

Dates: December 3rd - 7th, 2026
Location: Pacific Fins Resort, Guatemala
Spots: Extremely Limited

We’re already seeing strong early interest, and based on last year, availability will tighten up quickly. Once the boats are booked, that’s it.

If you’re planning to join us, I highly recommend locking in your team sooner rather than later.

First blue marlin… and it happened in Guatemala 🇬🇹🎣

What a place. What a fish. What an experience. Huge thanks to the crew at @pacificfins for making this one I’ll never forget. From the second we stepped on the dock to the moment that marlin hit the spread, everything was world-class, top-tier boats, dialed-in crews, and service that makes you feel like family.
The fishing here is unreal but it’s the people and the experience that make it next level. Safe to say this won’t be my last trip and I’m already counting down until I’m back.

Reel… reel… REEL

Nothing like being strapped in, locked on a blue marlin, while the crew’s behind you capturing every second. Adrenaline pumping, drag screaming, and memories being made in real time.

This is the feeling you chase.
