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!

Thursday, July 28th, 2011Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament Update
Tuesday, July 26th, 2011The above video comes from the HIBT website. The Maggie Joe can be seen in the video at several points (look for the yellow hull!). Maggie Joe is featured at 1:25 and 1:40 during the video with a Blue Marlin on the line jumping through the water.
Captain Mike and the Maggie Joe finished Day 1 with 1 Blue Marlin and 1 Spearfish tagged.
The video also has some great information on the tournament specifications as lighter tackle is used in this tournament with greater points awarded for fish billfish caught on lighter tackle.
Good luck to Maggie Joe and Captain Mike as they look to build on their catch during Day 2.

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!
