The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I've been fortunate to spend the better part of my life fishing but even more fortunate to turn that passion into a career. Growing up on the Great Lakes in Canada I fished for the typical freshwater fish but also in the big money Salmon Tournaments. Once I moved to Hawaii I was able to spend more time on big water and really developed a passion for chasing these bigger fish. I don't just operate a business, I love what I do and even on my days off, you'll find me out on the water dragging lines or dropping bait.

Outstanding Trip!
This is an outstanding trip for the family. Captain Brent and first mate Rooster are first class! They are incredibly personable and informative, and they will do everything they can to ensure that you have the best experience possible. And not to mention, they put us on some awesome fish! Our boys caught Ono in the morning and we caught an incredible Blue Marlin in the afternoon. One of the best charters we have ever been on. We will be back!

Quality vs Quantity
Fishing Kona for the first time, we found out several things! Reel Escape is a nice boat with great crew and equipment! The target fishing there is in reality “A” big fish! The fishing calendars we saw from several sources are not accurate! All the calendars indicated August was prime time for Mahi Mahi and Ono. Our crew and other sources refuted that! I recommend this vendor if you are willing to spend the time and money to Catch a big Marlin or Tuna! This is my second time using fishing Booker...
