I let my two boys select a couple excursions in Oahu and this was their top choice.  There are no guarantees when fishing but Captain Reuben and Gabe did everything possible to make sure both boys caught a fish. My oldest caught the first fish, a striped Marlin, and had quite a fight to get him in the boat. What I loved most was when I tried to help my son when he said he couldn’t do it, the captain waved me off and encouraged him to do it on his own. After pulling the fish in, he’s still talking about how he did it days later. My youngest lost a tuna on his first try but ended up bringing in a large tuna an hour later. To say he was excited would be an understatement, but Gabe, the first mate, was almost as excited as we were which made the experience even better. These types of trips are only as good as the crews you are with and I can’t say enough about Reuben and Gabe. As we we’re leaving, by boys even said you need to leave them a good tip and a good review. I hope we did both!

Great outfit to fish with in Oahu!! Captain Ruben and Gabe did great! They were early and ready..fuel truck slowed our departure just a little, but they made it up by keeping us on little longer!! Ruben was very knowledgeable of the area and busted his butt hunting down fish…which he did!! Gabe was an awesome deckhand making sure all was running smooth on backend with us! Trade winds were up and water pretty messy, but the Ruckus kept up the hunt to be one of only 2 boats to land fish!!  Hands down they made this fishing trip a memorable experience for my family!! Thank you both so much and tight lines…till next time!

We had a blast with Captain Reuben and Gabe on our 1/2 day tour.  We stopped for a few minutes to catch a little bait on the way out and it sure paid off.  We went 2-3 in Mahi’s with the 3rd spitting the hook within 10 feet of the boat.  The fishing started a little slow but Captain Reuben kept searching for us and put us on the fish!  The boat was very clean and comfortable and they guys knew what they were doing for sure.  We would recommend this charter to anybody.  My only regret was I didn’t book it for the full day!! Thank you Reuben and Gabe for an awesome trip!

What an amazing experience! Highly recommend this crew! Just know that nothing is guaranteed as far as catching fish. They are accommodating and friendly. Just be open with them and don’t be afraid to go even if you have never gone fishing. Ruben is great! Tom is a hoot! Just so you know, because it was talked about on the trip, this kind of fishing isn’t where you put a slack line down and wait for a bite. You are trolling the lures around the water while the boat is moving. Have the right expectations going in and this can only be a life changing event. Have fun!!!

Can’t say enough about the captain and crew.  We showed up a little early and rather than wait, we got on the water, which I really appreciated.  It was a little rough, but about an hour in we had 4 striped marlin hit.  Two hooked up and we got both to the boat - fighting two at the same time was amazing.  Captain and crew worked really hard to clear the other lines.  My 15 yr old son fought from the chair and I had one from an outside rod holder.  I got mine in first and his broke off right at the boat.

We kept fishing and my son pulled in a gorgeous mahi-mahi.  As soon as we got him in the boat, the Captain rushed to have my son get a picture while the mahi’s colors will still there.

We kept fishing until the very last minute - arriving back at the dock a few minutes after the original 6 hours, so we got every minute of the time we paid for.

Once back at the dock the captain gave us as much of the marlin and mahi as we wanted - made for an amazing dinner.

Recognize we were lucky with the catch, but captain and crew helped us make that luck.  Would definitely recommend.
