Unfortunately we did not catch many fish, but it was still a fun experience. The deckhand and captain were very friendly and easy to talk to. It definitely is not for the people with weak stomachs - lots of rocking and rolling. Lucy caught the best fish.
Excellent captain an deckhand. While catching bait a Blue Marlin hit that rod and the fight was on! After the first leap we knew what we had on the line. 25 lb test line and light rod we were in for a long fight. 5 hours later and getting the fish to the boat which would have been leader range a shark brushed up against line and broke it. Captain and deckhand estimated it to be 400 to 500 pound range. Great testimony of quality of gear and determination of crew to catch that fish. Fish and trip of a lifetime.We will never forget.

Really fantastic day. Jim communicated very well leading up to the trip. Unfortunately the morning of he was ill, but he let me know early that morning that we would be in good hands with Momi and Jimmy. We were indeed.
My wife and I had a great time. We were out of the harbor and trolling within minutes of arriving. Went straight out to a spot they had been seeing good bird activity past few days and my wife was hooked onto a really nice Blue Marlin by 8:00 am. As happens, that one got away, but I hooked into another 30 min later and landed one 300+#. Weather changed and the bite stopped after that, but the rest of the trip was still a great time talking and laughing with the captain and crew.
Iโve fished a lot of charter trips around the world and this one was top notch. My first Marlin was a bonus on great day.
