Wellโฆ.you either catch fish or you donโt. The day we went, not a single bite. Not for lack of trying, just not in the cardsโฆ.and that was ok. To be out on a boat, in the beautiful Pacific, off the coast of the Big Island was absolutely enough. It was 4 hours of family time, looking at the island from the water, watching the endless horizon of water, seeing birds, hoping to catch a fish but also being ok if it didnโt happen. The captain and his first mate told funny stories, showed us cool videos of things that happened on other days, talked about growing up on island, it was great. I think it was just about being out there. I canโt speak of how awesome it would have been to catch something, that would have just been frosting on an already great cake. So choose the attitude you bring with you when you go out for a charter. Itโs not a guarantee of a big catch, but choose your attitude and youโre definitely guaranteed a good time.

We went out for a half day and hooked our first marlin right away. Got it reeled in, let it off then hooked another within a few minutes. We ended up hooking 4 or 5 but only got one in. Overall experience 10/10! Crew was super helpful and knowledgeable and we will definitely be back!
Had an amazing trip off Kona today with HookedUpโs Zac and Blake.ย Matt got to battle and bring in a 350+lb blue marlinโฆAMAZING experience to be a part of. The boat and crew were great, canโt wait to go again!ย ๐ค Mahalo โค๏ธ
Brought the whole family (wife, 4 teenage boys and myself). We only caught 2 fish ๐ but the crew did everything they could to ensure we could watch what we could. Great overall trip. Highly recommend them!
Thanks for the nice review and glad you enjoyed the trip .ย This is for anyone reading the reviews to help educate .ย Kona is known for quality over quantity โฆ. We are a blue marlin fishing destination but have a chance at all the pelagic fish but itโs just not a guarantee here..ย watwr is so deep so quick we donโt have the bottom structure to hold bottom fish.
We had a great trip with Captain Zack and the crew. A professional and informative group that added to the enjoyment of the trip. Only caught one with a couple of missed strikes, but the enjoyment is being out on the water having a good time with friends.
