Capt. Jeff Kahl was three miles from NASA-buoy near the island of Lanai when he raised their big blue on an Elkins blue-back Popsicle lure. The lure was rigged to a 130-class Penn International loaded with 130-lb test Ande line. The marlin fought Reese Randall and the crew on the REEL HOOKER, a 35-foot Bertram, for 1 hour and 50 minutes before giving up the ghost.
