Tony Means from Reno Nevada booked High Noon for two three quarter days, last Sunday, and today. A while back Tony fished with a good friend of ours on a boat called the Night Runner. They had a great time catching some tuna and Striped Marlin. Tony wanted to catch a Blue Marlin this time, so on our first day we decided to do some live baiting. We managed to catch a little tuna before the bad dolphins showed up at the buoy. No more than fifteen minutes in the water and we had a nice Blue Marlin take the bait. It took a bunch of line, Tony got in the chair, after some reeling the fish got loose. Then we found the porpoise school and tried catching a big tuna on the green stick with no luck.
Day two started out slow. With an early departure we headed out to get bait and do what we did on the the first day. Unfortunately the buoy was dead. So we stuck to our guns and put out our best lures and hoped for the best. We watched Maverick hook up to a 500pound Black Marlin right in front of us, which is very rare for Hawaii, we were so close. With only an hour left we looked back and had seen a fish Jumping not realizing that the clicker was not on the fish had taken about six hundred yards of line out. Quickly we hurried to the deck strapped Tony to the rod and he began reeling like a crazy. About twenty minutes later Tony had his first Blue Marlin. Thanks tony for a fun two days of fishing, next time we will get that monster that got away.
