A Big One for Lei’n Low

A solid 477 lb blue marlin.

A fun day on the water culminated in Captain Nate and Ryan going 1 for 2 on blue marlin and 1 for 1 on spearfish on the way back to the harbor.

Lei’n Low went on a productive ono (wahoo) run, hugging the shoreline all the way down south of Captain Cook. There was plenty of ono action, with several strikes, some shook loose, but the bites were steady. About halfway through the trip, Captain Nate and Ryan hooked a solid ono. Angler George successfully brought it in, marking both his first ono and the biggest fish he’s ever caught. Later, the crew switched gears to target marlin. As they headed into deeper waters, they unexpectedly landed another ono, this time on a marlin lure. Angler Bob also landed his first ono and largest catch to date.
