Blue Marlin Kona, Hawaii

Capt. Ray Kawahara and Walter Koyanagi were competing in the Kona Mauka Trollers Club Fishing Tournament on the LAHELA when they hooked their behemoth. The fish was caught after a 21/2-hour fight on 180-lb test line spooled on a Penn Senator 14/0 reel. It was the largest marlin caught during a Hawaii tournament up to this time.

Capt. Andy Anderson was hosting a charter for a tourist on the charter boat the LYNELL with a deckhand that he'd just picked up for the day when they struck their monster marlin. Andy conducted the four-hour fight from his position at the helm and after they returned to Kewalo Basin in Honolulu with the fish, they weighed it and cut it up. The weight has been reported at both 1112 and 1140 lbs.
