Fishing Kailua Kona Hawaii, 11 Year Old Jake Ransick takes 150.5 pound Yellowfin Tuna
Fishing Kailua Kona Hawaii, 11 Year Old Jake Ransick takes 150.5 pound Yellowfin Tuna. Marv Garrett along with his Grandson Jack and his Dad, Todd, son John, and son in law Stewart Rauch boarded the Fire Hatt for what turned out to be an epic day of fishing. Two hours into the trip, the short corner is bit. Marv Garrett, a longtime Tuna Club Member from Catalina Island, CA here celebrating his birthday is in the chair and fighting his first marlin of this trip. After a 45 minute fight on 50 pound test line using one of our prize KEN MATSUURA REELS, Marv releases a 300+ pound Pacific Blue Marlin. The largest this year for a Tuna Club Member. Not to be outdone, around 2:00 PM, the long rigger is bit. One big splash and what seems like a mile of line screaming off we have another fish. This time Marv’s Grandson, Jack Ransick of Encino, CA is in the chair. Assisted by his Uncle John Garrett, Jack lands a 150.5 pound Yellowfin Tuna. I am guessing it is his largest fish to date! I should also mention it was caught on the now very lucky “Lucky Linda Lure” made for me by Bomboy Llanes. (Bomboy Lures)
