Blue Marlin Caught!
Monday, October 31st, 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.
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.
