Jason Hayashi of hilo and his friends had an interesting day on the Northern Lights. We headed south to look for the dolphin pods of tuna and found a floater the had the same small Mahi Mahi that we found for the girls the day before. We caught 25 or 30 and while we were focused on the Mahis the dolphins that we were looking for came right to us. They looked really good but we could mark the tuna that we were hoping to see. The pod took us north towards home leaving the good floater behind. Having enough to eat we headed north looking for a marlin and got a call that our fish buyer Wesley Murakami weekend fishing hooked a monster marlin. We fished our way up to him as he was finishing a 3 and a half hour fight. The fish floated up next to the boat dead and appeared as long as he and his son Kent’s boat. We pulled the huge fish into the boat and met them at the scales where the fish weighted 827 pounds. It had an exceptional bill on it – a beautiful fish.
