Captain
Lance Gelman

Member since March 2021 Kailua-Kona, United States
Background
Captain Lance has worked in the charter fishing industry since he was 14, and his love of fishing, the ocean, and his clients has always rewarded him. Captain Lance believes it is his responsibility to show his clients a great day whether the fish are biting or not. With that said, he is a very accomplished captain, catching two grander Blue Marlin (1058 lb and 1075 lb), 57 Mahi Mahi in a single day, and has many tournament victories to his credit. A superb Ahi (Yellowfin Tuna) fisherman, Captain Lance won first place in the Maui Jim Tournament Ahi Division three years in a row: 2009, 2010, and 2011.
Techniques
The captain's preferred style of fishing is trolling lures in order to cover as much water as possible looking for your catch of a lifetime.
