Kona Fishing at its Finest - day 3 of the HIBT Tournament nets 16 Pacific Blue Marlins

Hard to believe 16 Blue Marlins caught in one day? and go figure the one that caught the 973lb one Tuesday, pulled even farther into the lead Wednesday with a 295 pound Blue Marlin - I think they probably have this one locked in!

So the total for the week so far is

THREE-DAY CUMULATIVE CATCH RECORD
36 Pacific blue marlin tagged & released
2 Pacific blue marlin boated
4 Short nose spearfish tagged & released
1 Ahi boated

KONA - Fishing at its finest - 973 lb Blue Marlin pulled in Tuesday - HIBT Tournament

973 pounds !!! This is the second largest fish caught in the 49 year old tournament, amazingly it was the same team, back in 1986 that reeled in the largest - 1,062.5 pounds - what are the odds?

Kona is world famous for its fishing - mostly because of its Deep Blue waters, Aloha Spirit, Warm tropical weather, and the ability to pull in a fish of this size - 5 minutes out of the harbor. The waters drop off so fast here in Kona, you can be a few hundred yards off shore and be thousands of feet deep - even a mile deep in some areas.

Stay tuned because this tournament goes on until Friday - any more big ones and you will be the first to know.

Let me know if you need a home that has enough space for your boat - being a boat owner and fisherman myself - I can help you find that perfect home - close to the harbor - and of course the ocean view - because you just cant get water off your mind.

I will leave you with a photo of yesterdays catch
