2nd Place Henry Chee award at the 2019 HIBT Banquet. Nice to be included in such a historic part of Kona fishing. The HIBT put Kona Marlin Fishing on the map showcasing Kona’s best in the fleet for 60 years. Congratulations to all the captains and teams that pushed this tournament to a down to the wire finish.
Pam Basco caught a potential world record spear on 16lb tippet yesterday. As I posted we had heart break the day before with one we caught that due to a tackle issue couldn’t apply. Pam and I have caught a number of records together over 18years. Fought and lost countless record fish with my whole alumni of top notch mates so it was so nice to finally get one. To catch records together 18yrs apart shows her loyalty as an angler and friend. Thanks Richard Richardson for the help giving us all the shot to be out there. Also big congrats to my mates David Borges and Diamond Dave for a job well done.
