Sensational winter bite in Kona Hawaii c

John Bolton and his son Kyle caught and released a 200 pound Blue Marlin and the rarest of all Billfish, a Short Billed Spearfish. A great achievement on a half day Charter. Congratulations.

We are dealing with Nature and days like this happen. There was a major long standing tournament today and also very few bites. I know how hard our crew tries and soythe fish win. Don’t give up on them. Chuck
