Epic day of fun and fishing. Caught both of these beauties on an epic day of snorkeling and fishing. The small Ahi seem to have made their way closer in shore this month!

Congrats to this crew of gents for landing this beautiful blue marlin on an extended morning fish. We're so stoked for you guys and glad to have split up all the fillet! There's been a ton of marlin around this season and we're so stoked that you got yours. I know the live baiting was tough, but at the end patience paid off!

These double barred goat fish are a prized catch here in Hawaii! Not just for their illusive nature, but more so for the dinner table. Very rarely does it happen, but we have hooked up to a double, both in the net! Though they were of legal size, we decided to toss them back in to grow a bit bigger! Great job team!
