it's that time of year again...

This past weekend, Kara and I went back to Kona to spend time with the family for Father's Day. My dad and uncle were in a fishing tournament and needed anglers, so we decided to go with them. I went on Saturday and Casey and Kara went on Sunday. This fishing trip was the first of the fishing season for my dad guys and it was a great weekend for all of us!

Around 7:30am on Saturday morning, I caught a 199.5 lb. blue marlin and about 3 hours later, boated a 243.5 lb. blue marlin.


On Sunday morning, Kara called home at around 8:30am and told us they had boated a marlin, approximately 500 lbs. Her black marlin weighed in officially at 532.5 lbs.

We ended up winning two most prestigious prizes of the tournament...Largest Fish (which is considered the grand prize) and Total Weight Marlin. We had the 3 biggest fish of the tournament, with the next one weighing in at 192 lbs...Though I must mention, that's a big ass ahi!

I know it sounds like I'm tooting my own horn, but after being bolohead for 9 years, I've paid my dues and deserve a little bragging rights! ;)

Keep dancing!
