real FISH STORIES

Janice & Steve Webb, local residents of Hawaii that live in Kohala on The Big Island of Hawaii had a great day on the Linda Sue III - a great husband and wife team both caught their own Ahi, Yellow Fin Tuna. If Captain Jeff Heintz (far right) looks tired, it's because he is still running his own boat. Both fish were caught on the World Famous Lael Wilson Lures (pictured on the fish). ==============================
Diamond Tann from Santa Ana, CA had a tough battle with this 187 lb Ahi "Yellow Fin Tuna". ==============================
- More great pictures click HERE - Jim
Miersch from Arlington Heights, IL won the Salmon
Unlimited, Cass Sliwa Memorial Fund Raising
Auction for a half day charter in Hawaii aboard the
Linda Sue III with Capt/Owner of the Linda Sue III in
Kona. The original Linda Sue was in Waukegan, IL and
Cass & Captain Jeff were some of the original members of
Salmon Unlimited. Cass & Jean Sliwa were some of the
original founders of Salmon Unlimited that made
it the great organization it is today.
==============================
Glenn McGowean, Capt Jeff Heintz, nephew from Vernon Hills, IL along with Dan Shafron from Plain Field, IL had a great day of fishing - along with several smaller Yellow Fin Tuna, Glenn ended battling with the mother of the smaller ones. The 154 LB Ahi even had Glenn lifted right up out of the fighting chair several times. ==================
David Kuspa from San Jose CA along with friend Michael had a very stubborn Ahi - after a 40 minute battle, this beautiful 120 LB tuna was on board the Linda Sue III. ==================
Some local car rental friends decided to take a break from work & then got worn out on the Linda Sue III by landing 23 Mahi and 8 Ahi (Shibi). Alex Kruse, Debbie Gelhi, Joe ackson & Nate Wurderland. |

The 3rd largest Blue Marlin caught in the Huggo's 12th Annual Wahine 2007 Tournament. It was a LADY ANGLER ONLY Tournament - 95 boat loads of them - A marlin had to be 400 lbs to qualify in order to be brought to the scale. Capt. Jeff Heintz measured the Marlin while it was still swimming next to the boat - fast math after 32 years of looking at these beasts, he guessed it at 400 - gaffed it and it weighted in at 402.5 lbs.

644 LB Blue Marlin, Kona Hawaii
Bravo for the Bravos! Bill Bravos and family from Barrington, IL got off the Hawaii cruise ship in hopes of catching a Mahi Mahi. Instead of a small fish, a MONSTER of 644 LB Marlin came up behind the Linda Sue III two (2) hours into their 4-hour charter. After a 4 hour battle (that's right, their 4-hour charter turned into 6 hour), Bill won and with the courtesy of the cruise line holding a tender for them (they were late) and a fast taxi back to the pier downtown - everybody won but the fish.
