Went for a full-day charter with Tantrum Sportfishing. As can happen with any fishing, we thought we were going to come up with empty hands. Even then, we were in great spirits and having fun on a beautiful boat, trolling along the beautiful Kona Coast. Had a great crew who were being just as attentive to the fish as they were to my family.

In the last hour of the charter, they got another hit on the screen. Captain Joe quickly locked in, stopped talking, took two passes over top, but lost them on the screen, he took one last swipe in front of where he thought they were. After 8 hours of nothing, FISH ON!

My 16yo hopped in the seat, having never been before, fought hard for 30 minutes, and was able to finally land this beast of an animal: a 150lb ahi tuna. Core memory created!

Funny story, when your son is on his forst big fish ever, dont hit take photo instead of record video on thr GoPro you set up earlier.

Thank you, Hawaii, for your bounty, as well as Captain Joe
and 1st mate Dan of Tantrum Sportfishing for the memories.

Bucket list check ✅.                                  it was an amazing trip, from A to Z
the crew was so nice, the boat is awesome
Easy peasy make your journey as you wish.

It was my first time in Hawaii , I always dream to catch a big Fish. With Tantrum my dream come true!
Couple hours pass without a bite , you never know what the sea will offer you , We saw Pilot Whales, Dolphin, birds and suddenly ZaaaaaPPP!!!!!
1 Mahi Mahi 2 Mahi mahi! Great fight, my heart was pumping fast , the thrill, the adrenaline while I was reeling the line and saw the fish jumping out everywhere

I do recommend to take the 9 hours trip
they are pro but sometimes it take time before the fish bite!

My wife and I chartered Tantrum Sportfishing for a full day and it was an amazing experience.  Capt. Nick was great and the deck crew, Mitch and Ryan were a pleasure to fish with.  They were all super knowledgeable and eager at explain what they were doing to catch big game fish off Kona.  It was a tremendous experience, can’t wait to get back to Kona and charter them again!
