Brent Hung5.0VerifiedCaptain Leng is the MAN !
3 Hour Trip – Bay (PM) on March 16, 2026 • 4 adultsCaptain Leng took me and my 3 buddies out fishing, and it was an experience we will never forget ! We went out boys and came back men. We had zero experience, but Captain Leng walked us through everything and taught us with kindness and patience. He was so generous and nice. We caught fish, and when we came back he even gave us a couple lobster. Truly an amazing captain and person, had an incredible time highly recommend !

Halfday special 1pm 5hrs on September 19, 2024 • 3 adultsWe visit our son ones a year and we were super blessed to have Captain Leng Bai with Kraken Sportfishing as our guide. He called it at the beginning of our trip, “mission bay is truly his back yard!” We had a blast and he was more than a gentleman. Mike Fowler, DALLAS PRO TECHS owner and Opperator for over 30yrs. As an entrepreneur I’ve always said, “Your only as good as the people you work with.” Great job Captain Leng! Thank you for all your hard work…
Adam Suetomi5.0Verified10 Stars if you could give 10
3/4 day trip on September 1, 2024 • 2 adultsThese guys were awesome! We did the Coronado Islands; Fish were a little finicky and Although we didn’t catch any targeted fish (yellowtail), they still made sure we didn’t leave empty handed and took us to catch some rockfish! Safe, clean, excellent guys! Coming back to do it again but next time we catch some targets! Out of everyone I spoke to on this app though I’m glad I went with the Kraken boys! Captain Leng is the man! 10/10 will recommend! Happy fishing!
Samuel D. Pendleton5.0VerifiedHad a great day!
8 Hr – Deep Sea bottom fishing on March 18, 2024 • 2 adultsI booked with Capt. Leng and Kraken Sport Foshing for an 8 hour trip with my 16 year old son. Capt. Leng was very helpful and patient in teaching us what we needed to know and do to make it a successful trip out. We enjoyed ourselves and would not hesitate to go out with Kraken again. One note - we went on March 18th which was very early in the season so not much action on bigger fish. Certainly no commentary on the Capt. or boat - just a learning point for me.

6 Hour – Deep Sea fishing on July 19, 2024 • 3 adults • 2 childrenThe Kraken with Captain Leung will be our go to fish boating. He’s not just a captain he’s a fisherman. He didn’t want to stop when the time was up. It was all about catching fish. His instruction were good for newbies and helped the experience. We caught a bunch of fish and he’s actively working to find the best positions. We will book him again and again. We caught 6 species and one shark we released. He filets the fish when you’re done.

6 Hour – Deep Sea fishing on July 31, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Leung of the Kraken is Great. Totally helped us to find fish. We had a Great time. I’m not able to get around that easy and he took care of helping me to enjoy fishing. He’s a total caring and knowledgeable Captain. If you want to catch fish and enjoy the time fishing, this is the Captain and fishing boat Kraken for you. Great Times! We might not have caught a lot but it’s not because he didn’t try to find them.
