Fleeting Marlin Moment
Michael and Kia Worth aboard Fire Hatt celebrating their Honeymoon.
A Fleeting Marlin Moment for Michael and Kia Worth while aboard Fire Hatt this week. The Worth’s booked a 3/4 day Charter Fishing trip in Kona Hawaii with the hopes of catching a Pacific Blue Marlin. The Worth’s are celebrating their honeymoon after just getting married in Maui. Kia is from Minnesota and Michael from Australia. With busy careers, the two have enjoyed some down time in the Islands.
After a quiet morning with Captain Joe Shumaker and first Mate Anthony De la Cruz, an estimated 350 pound Pacific Blue Marlin exploded on the long rigger line. While Michael jumped into to the fighting chair, the marlin jumped and ripped out line the whole time. A minute into the fight…the marlin threw the hook. Ouch! While getting out of the chair Michael made a spontaneous comment that I’m sure he will be reminded of for years to come… “That was the most exciting minute of my life!” Kia will surely grin every time this story is told.
