Hawaii Fishing Trip Hooks Up 616 lb. Blue Monster Marlin!
It was a family fishing affair on the Bite Me 5 with Captain Lael Wilson on a beautiful weekday in Kailua Kona.
Straight out of the Honokohau Harbor at 2,000 fathoms this Hawaii fishing trip netted a giant Blue Marlin! After two hours of a humbeling fight, the Marlin ran under the boat and wrapped around the prop. Captain Wilson grabbed his mask and jumped in the water unwrapping the line just in time. Still, the fight was not over!
The grueling fight went on from 9 am until 1:20 pm until finally the Marlin gave way and the 616 pound monster was hoisted on board.
The Harmansky family had gone fishing on the Big Island once a year for three years straight. Never with any luck. Then this year they booked a charter with Bite Me Sport Fishing and now not only do they have a catch of a lifetime, but they also go to eat the Marlin that they had caught at the Bite Me Fish Market Bar and Grill!
Thank you Harmansky family for a beautiful story and the opportunity to catch your family their first Blue Monster!
