Captain Mike and the Maggie Joe are starting off the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament in Kailua-Kona, HI today in fashion! The Maggie Joe is hosting Angler Team 19 today representing Shoal Haven Game Fishing Club in Australia. The boys are off to a great start with a tag and release on 1 Pacific Blue Marlin at an estimated 130 lbs. and a tag and release on 1 Spearfish.
The HIBT has two competitions built in the tournament. First, the 34 different Angling Teams from across the globe rotate boats on a daily basis and compete with each other. The boats also compete against each other as well for most fish caught during the tournament.
Currently, Captain Mike and the gang are deep sea fishing off Ho’okena, Hawaii and are hoping to find some more fish as the day and tournament progresses throughout the week. Good luck!
