12/24 /07 STEVE & TONI WILLIAMS FROM WEST LIBERTY OHIO LANDED A 260lb. BLUE MARLIN ON 12/ 19/07. ALTHOUGH WE TRY TO RELEASE SOME OF THE BILL FISH < IT MAKES NO SENSE TO RELEASE DEAD MARLIN SO YOU CAN TELL FISH STORIES ABOUT HOPE BIG THE ONE WAS YOU RELEASED. WE ALMOST GOT BIG MAMA, WELL OVER 500LBS AS SHE CAME IN 1st. ON THE SAME LURE. SHE RAN OFF 100 YDS. DROPPED IT AND AS SOON AS LAEL , MY CO-CAPTAIN REELED IT UP TO HANG IT BACK UP ON THE OUTRIGGER , THE MALE CAME ROARING IN AND POUNCED ON IT. HE WAS NOT AS LUCKY. " ALL THE BIG MARLIN, OVER 300 lbs. ARE FEMALES.
12/ 17 / 07 GUESS WHAT ? THE WIND FINALLY QUIT BLOWING WAS ABLE TO GET OUT EVERY DAY AND THE FISH STAYED AROUND SO WE COULD CATCH SOME AND FEED MANY GOOD REPEAT FISHERMAN. LAST SUN, HAD A GREAT DAY WITH TERANCE BOSS FROM ALBERTA CANADA. GOT HIM A 40lb. Spearfish, 20lb MAHI & a small Yellow Fin Tuna. TERANCE is a GREAT GENTLEMAN & has his OWN HUNTING & FISHING GUIDE SERVICE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM & IF YOUR going to Alberta. You can check out his Web Site at www.bossoutfitting.com or e mail him at terance.boss@shaw.ca The rest of the week it's been more Mahi or Spearfish except Thurs the 13th. Dan Andrewjerski from Naperville Il. got 5 NICE TUNAS all around 20 Lbs. In fact, we had a TRIPLE STRIKE and got the ALL. WE HAVE SEEN HUMPBACK WHALES EVERY DAY WE'VE BEEN OUT. YESTERDAY ALSO SAW HUNDREDS OF MELON HEADS, SO REMEMBER, YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF DIFFERENT OCEAN LIFE, ALL WHILE YOUR FISHING
12/ 07 / 07 MAHI MAHI, MAHI MAHI, YOU KNOW, THE FISH SO NICE THEY NAMED IT TWICE. JUST WHEN THE FISHING STARTED TO HEAT
UP WITH MAHI EVERY TRIP OUT, YOU GUESSED IT ONE OF THE WORST STORMS TO HIT THE BIG ISLAND IN MANY YEARS. AND IT'S STILL BLOWING. GOT BLOWN OFF THE OCEAN 12/3/07 BUT BY 10AM WE HAD 5 BEAUTIFUL MAHI'S IN THE BOAT, TRIED TO GO OUT TODAY, 4 DAYS LATER BUT HAD TO TURN BACK DUE TO UNSAFE CONDITIONS. AFTER 39 YEARS IN THIS BUSINESS, SAFETY STILL COMES FIRST. AFTER OUR 627 lb. MARLIN ON 11/12/07, NOW THE BIGGEST ONE CAUGHT HERE IN KONA THE PAST 2 MONTHS, WE'VE CAUGHT 26 MAHI LOST SEVERAL MARLIN INCLUDING ONE BIGGER THEN THE 627 POUNDER and on 12/1/07 JEFF ANDREWJERSKI FROM NAPERVILLE ILL BOATED A 51Lb SPEARFISH WHICH IS THE LARGEST IN KONA IN SEVERAL WEEKS. UNTIL THE WIND STOPS BLOWING I'll BE ON LAND & I PROMISE TO TRY AND KEEP THIS MORE CURRENT. ALOHA, JEFF

BECAUSE WE STRIVE TO BE THE FIRST CHARTER BOAT OUT JUST BEFORE DAY BREAK, WE SET LINES RIGHT IN THE HARBOR ENTRANCE . BY THE TIME WE GET OUR LAST OF 6 LINES SET WE ARE ALREADY IN 300 FATHOMS (1500) ft. THEN LAEL, MY ASSOCIATE CAPTAIN STARTS WITH THE FISHING SCHOOL. ON THIS DAY HE DIDN' GET TO MANY WORDS OUT AND WHAM, OFF GOES THE SHORT CORNER " SUPER MAHAM " LAEL JUST MADE. SAL PUT THE HARNESS ON, JUMPED INTO THE CHAIR & WE WATCHED THE LINE POURING OFF THE REAL AND WAITED TO SEE IT JUMP WAY OUT BEHIND THE BOAT. ABOUT 60 SECONDS LATER THERE WAS THIS MASSIVE EXPLOSION RIGHT NEXT TO THE BOAT WITH ALL 627lbs PASSING US UP WITH INCREDIBLE LEAPS. I HAD TO QUICKLY SPIN THE BOAT 180 DEGREES AND CHASE IT BACKWARDS. AFTER 1 1/2 HRS. OF SAL'S GREAT ROD & REEL SKILLS, THE FISH WAS OURS GREAT JOB SAL & LAEL. CHECK OUT THE PICTURE ON NOTABLE CATCHES IN CASE YOU MISSED IT.

CURRENT 7/26/07 Steven & Jennifer Williams from Southington Conn. tried real hard to win a FREE FULL DAY CHARTER on their HONEYMOON SPECIAL 7/24/07 but had to settle with Jennifers beautiful 25lb. Mahi Mahi (a fish so nice they named it twice) & Steven got a real showboating and dancing 146lb. Blue Marlin. Nice going & Happy Honeymoon in Beautiful Kona Hawaii. Jeff 7/22/07 We tried today for a full day charter. Tropical Depression Coseme made life miserable the 1st. 3 hrs. so I offered to bring Sarah & Jason Jernigan from Springfield VA. back in & only charge them for a 1/2 day $345 instead of staying out in the S--T & spending $545 and geting BEAT UP. Wise decision by all . We came back in after losing 1 Mahi Mahi .They saved $200 and decided to go back out tomorrow. Aloha 7/21/07 ALOHA, IT's Jeff finally. I rather be fishing than on a computer. My dailly updates are really getting screwed up by all the BLUE MARLIN wev'e been catching on THE LINDA SUE III. As recant as 7/18 John Audia from Florida boated a beautiful 380LB. BLUE MARLIN. Just before that, 13 YR. OLD Jeffrey Winslow from Middleburry Vt. landed a 177LB. on the 16TH.. On July 13th. Becky & Dan Gaulin from Edmonds Wa. tried to win a FREE CHARTER ON their HONEYMOON SPECIAL, but had to settle for a 189LB. BLUE MARLIN for Becky. On the 11Th. Paul & Tammy King from Atlanta celebrated their 20th. anniversery on the LINDA SUE and were rewarded with a 106LB. Marlin. Robert Turetano went out the day before to get a 160LB. MARLIN for his son in law Brian Eaton from Sonoro Ca. & on 7/9 Ken Hartung"s groupe from Arlington Va. had a SPECTACULAR DAY catching a 166Lb. Blue Marlin & 2 BEAUTIFUL SPEARFISH......... I'm leaving some of the older report on because many of the people on my boat like to show their friends they made LINDA SUE'S fish report. In between all these GREAT CATCHES we lost more fish to keep up with than we could count and caught several smaller fish like Ono & Mahi Mahi so don't wait for it to get better to book a trip.
