108 LB Ahi &
20 LB Ono, Kona Hawaii
The Ferrel family event continued (read previous adventure here) the following day, June 23rd, 2006. While the girls were at the beach, the boys tried hard to beat their catch but just couldn't quite do it by weight. However, their day on the Linda Sue III with Capt Jeff Heintz and crew Doug Leon was a success. Dad (Rob Ferrel) caught a 108 LB Ahi (Yellow Fin Tuna) and son Austin (3 yrs old) caught his 20 LB Ono (Wahoo). In just 1-1/2 days, the family caught 4 great fish! What a wonderful time they all had!!

On a overnight fishing charter to South Point, Mark Fitzgibbons & Carl Barba from the Chicago area wanted to try some stand-up bottom fishing for the giant Ulua's. After catching several Ulua's and then getting three bitten off completely except for one head, Capt. Jeff Heintz and crew Frank Potemski from Honolulu decided to find out what was stealing the Ulua's. It only took 10 minutes with a rigged dead tuna on a balloon floater to find out. The 16/0 reel started to scream in the pitch black of the night. After backing up for 2 hours we finally got a look at the giant mystery fish. All of us were shocked as the spot lights shining into the water outlined the enormous size of the great Tiger Shark.
After another hour and a lot of hard work from the 2 anglers who switched several times, Frank was able to grab the leder only to have to let it go several times to avoid being pulled over by the "beast from hell". Finally, after being to leader several times, Frank gave it all he had left and pulled the 1006 pound shark up to gaff range. Mark, who owns a company called Innovative Fishing Products, has developed a "Harpoon Style" gaff (shown in the picture), chartered the Linda Sue II to try it out on Big Game Marlin & Tuna. Unfortunately after loosing two 700 lb. marlin during the day, the only option left was to try it on the great tiger shark without knowing what would happen next. Because the gaff penetrated the skin with ease & went in to hit a vital spot, the long 3 1/2 hour battle ended with ease. Compared to poking it several times with the traditional flying gaff & only irritating the fish. After 30 more minutes, and the help of the 2000 lb. winch mounted on the Linda Sue II, the fish was pulled into the back of the boat and hauled back to Kona. It was a long night, but when the huge fish was hauled up on the scale and read 1006 pounds, we all thought it was quite an accomplishment. Aloha - Capt. Jeff Heintz |
