Not only a First Marlin While Fishing In Kona Hawaii
Not only a first Marlin while fishing in Kona Hawaii, but also his first Shortbill Spearfish. Dirk and Martina Untermann along with their two daughters Suenjn and Maike boarded the Fire Hatt for a day of fishing with the prize in mind being his first Pacific Blue Marlin. After we had three bites and nothing sticking, finally a Blue aggressively took the bait. Fight is on! Dirk fought the estimated 180 pound Blue Marlin for 25 minutes as the fish charged the boat, tried to outrun the boat and then finally just went deep. Dirk released the Pacific Blue Marlin in hopes that one day he will return to catch it again. Once the marlin was released we started our journey back up the line to the harbor. After having about an hour to embrace the event that just occured, the same line is bit again, third time today and this time Dirk brings in a Trophy Shortbill Spearfish. I’m just going to say, The Lucky Linda Lure by Bomboy Lures gets lucky again. How good does it get? Dirk and his family were still all smiles as they left us at the end of the day. A fun time was had by all!
