Day 2 of the Hawaiian Billfish Series Kona shootout. We had a great day of fishing just had a tough time putting points on the board. Ended up 0-2 on Ahi 2-4 on Spearfish and pulled the hook on a wild blue that we barely didn’t get the tag in after we had him on the leader 4 times. Fun day with enough points to gets us in position for the finish tomorrow.

Edible art work- fresher than fresh and surgically prepared I imagine the fishing it took and care to get here on this plate. The catching, preparing, and eating brings the art of fishing all together for me – amazing

Visited the Tsukiji Fish market to see the tuna auction. The action and excitement of the area was unreal. For a life long fisherman like me it was really cool to see how the Japanese value the fish and their quality. I saw tuna that were on the market floor that traveled thousands of miles that looked like I caught them on the Northern Lights yesterday. Been a great trip to my family’s home land with my whole family. Look forward to getting home and getting back on the water.

Gage Allerd and girlfriend Lily with a nice pair of Ahi yesterday. The bite is very good in Kona right now with a wave of tuna biting in the blind. Ours were in the dolphins today but a bunch of ahi were caught among the fleet in the blind. Looking forward to a great summer

Nice blue from the other day. Really nice to se a good one between all the boat work we have done this year. Haven’t had much to share with engine services varnish dry docks consuming the fall and winter. The boats look great and we are ready for summer to begin. The preparation is everything and we are finally wrapping up lots of hard boat work days and with this we can begin to believe we are ready for fishing finally. I’m not a fan of porting old pics but now that our focus is back on fishing I will share some of the good days we had this year between all the boat work

Mission accomplished Marty got his spear today on fly to add to his billfish on fly hit list that includes a rare swordfish on a fly he caught with Capt Bouncer Smith. He needs a stripe and a black and he complete the entire billfish slam on fly. We battled bad weather the last few days so it was nice to have a nice day to catch his fish in. Tomorrow we look for the stripey
