It’s July 26th and there have been 3 Grander’s caught with in the Hawaii island chain (Kauai 2, Oahu 1 ) & Kona has not even started with the big girls. Like I keep saying, Kona right now is a ticking time bomb and when it goes off big girl style which could be today, tomorrow or August or September, well you’ll be kicking yourself if you decided to do the kona trip “next year”. The time is now, got spaces opened up through August and September guve is a holla grandermarlin.com. My silly guess is August & September new moon. Congrats to the captain and crews in the pictures above !!! #grander #bluemarlin #hawaii #anyminutenow

Kona Fishing Report July 25th.
Went 1 for 2 yesterday on Blue Marlin and got one Ono for dinner. We slowly picking away at a few of them but It was definitely a little more difficult out there yesterday, we had to work pretty hard for the bites but eventually got our daily #bluemarlin. I’m excited to see what today will bring, Kona is a ticking time bomb at the moment, something very big is gonna get caught here soon by someone 🦕 🦖 #benchmark #kona#hawaii #bluemarlin #summer @pelagicgear #pelagichawaii#pelagicworldwide @fire_tailz #dredgestrips
Kona Fishing Report July 23rd
2 for 3 on the Blues today catching an estimated 300 and 200 lb blue. Had a nice one on first thing in the AM that definitely looked over 600 but she came unhooked after about 15 min of chasing her around. I’m too tired to wait for joe to get the photos uploaded off his camera so here’s some screen shots from the GoPro #kona #hawaii #benchmark#bluemarlin #fishing #biggamefishing #gopro #koyabullet @pelagicgear #pelagicworldwide #pelagichawaii @fire_tailz #dredgestrips @ Hawaii
July 22 Fishing Report
2 for 4 on blue marlin, small ones but did jump off one that looked 400. Also 0-1 on spear chuckers. Bit of a funky day yesterday but felt like we got back on the program today and the current seemed a bit more decisive and favoring a few good fish haunts. Let’s see what tomorrow brings…… #benchmark #kona #hawaii #bluemarlin #biggamefishing#tagandbrag @pelagicgear #pelagichawaii #pelagicworldwide
July 20th.
Another special day 2 for 3 on blue marlin, releasing an estimated 550 in excellent health & having a 640 die on us. In our last two days out we have caught a 750,650,640 and 550 !! Lucky lucky.. This is some damn good fishing at the moment & just super stoked to be experiencing what’s going on here. If your not booked in with us this July, no worries August and September promise to be an epic late summer/fall bite ( I’m thinking this is when the really big ones could be around) we have open spaces……grandermarlin.com #benchmark #kona #hawaii #bluemarlin#fishing #tagandbrag #biggamefishing #bigbootygirls @pelagicgear #pelagichawaii #pelagicworldwide @fire_tailz #dredge @whitestackle @ BIG GIRL EYE CANDY

Fishing report. Had two days off and back on the water with a welcome surprise. 2 for 3 by 1 pm. Releasing a 550 and boating This 640 one which very unfortunately got tail wrapped at some stage and died on us. I have alot of respect for this particular fish, she ran harder then most blues I’ve ever hooked but came to the boat upside down so we are going to feed our friends. Wish we could have let her go but this happens in marlin fishing. Some great photos to come of the 550 we released in excellent health. #kona #hawaii #bluemarlin@pelagicgear #pelagichawaii @fire_tailz #dredge @squidnati0n The dead fish ate our Bart’s breakfast lure the 550 ate @koyalures808 #bullet as usual
