Blue Marlin Kauai, Hawaii

Chuck Blesso was fishing aboard the 35-foot Bertram, the POMAIKAI, with Capt. Harry Shigekane and deckhands Serafin Duterte and Florencio. The marlin ate a strawberry-colored Shiroma lure running from the center rigger position. Chuck battled the blue with a 14/0 Penn Senator reel and 180-lb test line.

Blue Marlin Kona, Hawaii

Ernie France ventured out of Kona aboard the HOLOHOLO with veteran Capt. Doug Pattengill at the helm. They returned victorious from their trip with a 1,008-lb blue marlin... a rare catch at any time, but particularly so because it was January and far from peak marlin season in the islands.
