Blue Marlin Oahu, Hawaii
Capt. Russell Tanaka and his crew were fishing in the Pokai Bay Bonanza Jackpot Tournament when they hooked their grander behind the MARY I. The 13-foot long marlin ate a blue lai-skin lure designed by Larry Tang that was rigged on 130-lb test line and pulled the 45-foot sampan around the ocean for three hours and 40 minutes before coming to gaff. The fish put the crew (Dirk Britton, , Ricky Lam and Butch Farm) in second place in this total weight tournament. It was the second grander in two days in the same tournament.

They also caught an ahi and a couple mahi-mahi . Awesome catch along with an awesome crew on board an awesome boat!
