Blue Marlin Kona, Hawaii
Capt. Jerome Judd of the JUN KEN PO decided to run a 9-inch Gary Eoff Ahi-P lure behind a bird and it paid off when Ken Cort got to fight his first blue marlin. It was Kona's second grander of 1994 and was caught on 100-lb test line.

Capt. Dale Leverone guided the 31-foot Bertram, the SEA STRIKE, to the waters outside of Red Hill where an IGFA world record was cruising in search of their Joe Yee Super Plunger lure. The fish hooked up on an 80-class Penn International loaded with 50-lb test line and fought for 2 hours and 18 minutes. Ray Hawkes caught this fish during the 1993 HIBT Pro-Am tournament and his record was still standing 10 years later.
