Epic Start To The 2011 Season In Kona
Couple of memorable battles this yr so significantly have been Steve Stahines weighing a 907on the 10th of February. My friend Chad Contessa, who had weighed 1 917 lb. blue in January, misplaced yet another a single they believed to be well about 900 right after a 4 hour battle that ended up breaking the leader boat-facet and swimming absent with a flying gaff in her. WOW. On March 28th the boys on Fire Hatt weighed a 978.five pound blue after a 3 hour Battle. Like I explained, some extremely large fish close to previously this year in Kona!
Nonetheless, the greatest large fish story of the yr so much has been from Captain Chip Van Mols who effectively landed a GRANDER blue marlin of 1062 kilos on March 13th. Chip is a single of the best massive fish fisherman in the globe and made brief work if the fish. Chips uncanny ability and instinct for fighting enormous fish enabled the crew to get the fish boat aspect and stick the gaffs in her within 15 minutes of hooking the fish an unbelievable accomplishment. Chips prior Grander, caught in June 2009 and which I had the excellent lot of money of becoming a component of, had the same battle time as well.
Prior to its launch in March 2009 Captain Chip invested eighteen months in the yard entirely refurbishing his 38 foot Bertram Monkey Biz II. Since its start in 2009 Chip has landed 2 Blue marlin over one thousand lbs, countless blues about 500, and has led his anglers and crew to the podium in 6 Kona tournaments.
The fishing in Kona is finding much better by the week, and there are no indications of it letting up as we move in the direction of summer time.
Probably 1 of the finest features of the Kona fishing scene is the amount and diversity of tournaments that it has to offer. We have huge income tournaments with large entry fees, but also have a lot more peaceful tournaments with more compact entry costs as effectively. With most complete day charter prices in between 800 and 900 dollars for leading of the line sport fishers, hotel resorts for the loved ones within shut proximity to the harbor, and the safety of not obtaining to journey to a foreign nation Kona has got to be one of, if not the best sport fishing destination, in the Northern Hemisphere this summer season.
