Blue Marlin Kona, Hawaii

Capt. Tom Rogers of the 41-foot Hatteras the KONA SEAFARI had Capt. Butch Kelly working the back deck as Cyril and Paul Burgoyne fought this 1450-lb marlin on 80-lb test. The Penn International reel was mated to a straight-butt Fenwick rod with oversized AFTCO guides. The leader was made of .035 wire and the hook was a 10/0 Mustad Sea Demon. The fight time was five hours and 20 minutes. The marlin ate a bridled aku (skipjack tuna) bait. The fish weighs 338 lbs more than the current (2003) IGFA world record for 80-lb test line.

Blue Marlin Oahu, Hawaii

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.
