Capt. Richard Silva of the WILD BUNCH discovered this monster blue nearly 20 miles off Kahana Bay on Oahu's Windward Coast. Gary Silva fought the fish for two hours before landing Kaneohe's largest marlin to that date.
This monstrous marlin from the Haleiwa area of Oahu was caught by the crew aboard the LUCKY LIZ II with Capt. Alex Toki. The fish bottomed-out a 1,200-lb scale (it's head was still on the ground) and the captain decided he wasn't interested in cutting the fish in half at that point. They did, however, measure the fish and that is how the weight has been determined. It measured 19" 7" in length and 9' in girth.
Hooked on a Bart Miller Torpedo Taper trolling lure behind the BLACK BART, this marlin battled for 21/2 hours. It was caught on 130-lb test Cortland line and a bent butt unlimited class tuna stick. It was the second grander for Capt. Bart Miller.
Their three charter anglers exhausted and seasick, crewwoman Gail Choy fought this monster for most of the fight while her father, Cornelius Choy, managed the helm of the legendary COREENE C. This 1,805-lb blue marlin is the largest blue marlin ever caught on a rod and reel.
