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.
