Wesley and Kent’s 828

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Nice blue that our friends needed help bringing in this fish that weighted 828. The bill on this one was huge. It was a long fight and she came up dead tail wrapped.

Jay Marvin Day 3

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Jay’s dad who just turned 85 years young caught a small blue 10 minutes from the harbor once again at 7:00 in the morning.  We actually got to stay out until 12:00 today and had 2 more blue bites. We rigged up a Polu Kai 12 inch instigator and it went off 5 minute later. [...]

Jay Marvin Day 2

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

The Marvin’s set sail early again and caught a blue before 7:00. Jay took the second one and again caught an early fish. His son wasn’t feeling well so again we headed in early.

Jay Marvin Day 1

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Three generations of Marvins joined us on the Northern Lights and had great luck. Such good luck they were able to catch their fish early and head back to the hotel for lunch and a swim at the pool. Jay’s son 10 years of age caught this nice blue at 6:30 in the morning on [...]

Grunwald’s Late Blue

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Doug Grunwald and his family had a long day on the boat with us. We love to catch them right away so  the pressure doesn’t build. It was 3:00 and we had to turn south for one more pass through the area there were fish caught down south. I went through there with no luck [...]

Fire Cracker Open Day 2

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

Day 2 of the Fire Cracker started out great. A new day of fishing and all of the side action open to win. The Pacific Blue wasn’t in the sides so all of the money was there for the taking. About 1:00 we were digesting our Carnita Pork tacos with green chile sauce when we [...]

Team Lightspeed Fished the 2009 World Cup in Kona Hawaii during the Fire Cracker Open this year. We got up in the morning and I called Tracy to find out what we need to beat in Madeira and found that a 575 was caught. I thought with the great fishing they have been have that [...]

Kona Classic

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

I fished on the Lightspeed for the Kona Classic. We had a lot of fun and although it is an adjustment to be on the Lightspeed team and not be fishing the Northern Lights everyday this time of year. The Kona Classic is a good format because all of the species of fish count for [...]
