Robert Waryas was a first-time fisherman on a share charter when 23-year-old Capt. Marlin Parker of the ISLANDER hooked him to a piece of history. At the time of this capture, this marlin was the largest blue marlin ever taken on 80-lb test line. Robert angled the fish using a Fin-Nor reel after it struck a homemade lure. Douglas Haigh crewed the back deck and made Robert's catch a success.

Capt. John "Bomboy" Llanes and crewman Scott Kadooka teamed up on this monster blue marlin with angler Miguel Koenig. This fish won the 2003 Firecracker Open and is reputed to be the largest blue marlin ever caught in a tournament. It was no easy task, however, as the fish fought for nine hours and had to be landed in the dark. Capt. Bomboy Llanes operates the ON THE FLY as a charter boat out of Honokohau Harbor in Kona, Hawaii.
