Brother Dave had another great idea this year, spend a week in Kona with the family getting our minds right before winter sets in.

Myeself, the wife, kiddos, Brother Dave and the folks hung at a house in Kona for a week or so playing in the sand and on the Sea.

We managed to pull in a win at a small local Marlin tourney one day...

Nothing like a week in the sun, chasing blues, to get a guy's mind right for Rut!

Nice marlin BB! I've tried 3 diferent times to catch a marlin while vacationing on Maui and have zer fish to show for it.

Going to have to give Kona a shot one day, i've heard the fishing there is way better.

Did you get to take any of that marlin back to the house to eat?


That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

Not much of a beach guy, BUT that looks like a good time. It's nice when you can go into the dark and cold with the batteries charged up.

Didn't take any home, but I imagine they would have let us had we asked.

First time I've ever killed a marlin, wasn't all that thrilled, but when in Rome....

Even sandy beaches/blue water fishing isn't enough to keep me away for rut, trapping, and steelhead!
