Today Brain and I took Hal Westbrook and his friend Scott out for the day. We trolled the red hill most of the morning and headed south down the 500 fathom line. Outside of Honaunau we had a nice fish come to the short bait. The fish came off after 50 feet of line. We trolled for a minute and the fish came up on the short rigger . After a 10 minute fight we caught the fish a 500 pound blue. It was nice to see a good one come in short and stay with it. The second chance got us the fish. There were a few other nice fish caught today in the fleet. There hasn’t been many fish but the quality has been here. it is trophy hunting time. We have waited for our shot and thankfully it got stuck.
