Mark Mazur gets his Hawaiian slam

dsc01254

The Weather has been getting worse and our charter for yesterday canceled.  The weather today made for bumpy seas but noting that wasn’t fish able.  Mark and Lynn joined us for their last day and we headed south to find calmer waters.  The trolling was slow in the morning but that all changed around noon.  As we made our way back north from C buoy Mark noticed a spearfish speeding its way into the lure pattern.The short rigger came slamming down and Mark hopped into the chair.  The fight was over soon and Mark had now caught one of the rarest and hardest billfish species to get, the short nose spearfish.  Tracy set the lures back out and soon after, there was a huge explosion on the long rigger.  A blue close to 250 jumped the little Polu Kai bullet from the side.  Line started screaming off the reel and Mark quickly got strapped in.  We got the rest of the lures cleared and turned to chase down the hot fish.  Mark did a great job keeping up with blazing speed of the blue and soon enough Tracy had the leader in hand.  He wrapped the fish off on the port side and gave us some great photos.  Mark finished off his Kona fishing trip by catching the Hawaiian slam, a blue,stripe, and spearfish.  An accomplishment most anglers only dream of doing.
