Kona Sportfishing - Fish Report

Marlin or Tuna? Guess What Got Hooked Up in Kona!

So today Bite Me Sportfishing saw a porpoise school and dragged "the rig." We were hoping to catch an Ahi,  but no bites.

 

So then we went to the C Bouy and it was really crowded out on the water. No one was really catching any fish. But then we came through on Bite Me 4 and caught a couple of 10 pound Ahi. Great! 

 

Next thing you know, everyone rushes out to where we just caught the Ahi. Now its hard for us to get even get another good pass on the spot we just caught  the Ahi, so we dug out. 

 

On the way back to Honokohou Harbor, we "hooter" a Marlin--that's when the fishing hook wraps around the Marlin's bill instead of getting hooked up in the fish's mouth. Ususally, when a fish gets hootered, it will get away. Sure enough, after jumping around in the water a bunch of times and giving us a really great show, it got away!

 

We continue fishing, and I mark another fish on the machine. It looks like a big Ahi.  Next thing you know, we're hooked up again on Bite Me 4.

 

As I go to the back deck to help clear lines, I see a Marlin free swimming right next to the boat all lit up electric blue.

 

I looked up just in time to see a big splash, and now I'm wondering if we got a Marlin instead of a Tuna.

 

Stay tuned to hear how this one turns out!

 

Lol!!
