Captain Mike and the Maggie Joe crew hooked up 4 times during Day 4 of the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament. On board were anglers from the Kona Game and Fishing Club. 1 spearfish was caught and released while deep sea fishing off Kona, Hawaii, giving the guys some points for the day. With Day 5 starting tomorrow and Maggie Joe still in contention for the top boat, let’s all wish Captain Mike and the guys the best of luck!

Tag and Release first marlin!
Marlin on Deck!
Mahalo to Lowell for choosing Maggie Joe Sport Fishing. Lowell joined us for a day of deep sea fishing outside of Kona, Hawaii aboard the Maggie Joe. It was an action packed day as we saw a double marlin strike go off. The first marlin came in and was tagged and released. The second marlin was hurt and it was taken aboard. It was Lowell’s first marlin caught and we were happy he could do it with us. Aloha!

Sport Fishing Tournament Update
Saturday, July 9th, 2011It’s the second day of the Skin’s Tournament in Kona, Hawaii and the Maggie Joe crew hooks up, reels in and then tags and releases an estimated 120 lb Blue Marlin. Deckie John reports some great video footage was taken of the fish jumping at the back deck and will be posted sometime tomorrow or the next day. Check back for updates and video footage.
The Skin’s Tournament is a 3 day event, each day acting as an independent largest marlin-caught-winner-take all sport fishing tournament. Only marlin over 500 lbs. may be captured, all others are released, and the days purse money goes to the largest marlin boated.
Good luck to the Maggie Joe crew as they search for a big ole grandma blue marlin off the Kona, Hawaii coast today and tomorrow.
