A Christmas Eve to remember! I took my family out for a day of Sportfishing while in Kona with Bite Me Sportfishing and Wow did we have a blast!
Captain Brian Harnden and Mate Darin Castoro really know their stuff! we went for the full day trip, left the dock at about 6:30am and by 7:30am my wife was into the first Blue Marlin of her life. What a thrill! Brought it to the boat, and released the 160lb (ish) beauty! But that was just the beginning.
Next up in the chair was our daughter and within the next hour she hooked up with her first Striped Marlin, about 65 pounds. We boated that fish and split the meat with the crew. We ate some last night, fabulous!
After a few more hours of “mowing the lawn” looking for a fish, as luck would have it, the best fish of the day struck! Our son was in the chair and did a great job controlling his first Blue Marlin. We were able to bring that 250lb. beauty to the boat where Darin was able to tag and release it.
All in all, Captain Brian and Mate Darin were terrific, very positive and super professional.
Our family will never forget this adventure and can’t wait to do it again!
