    Reel Hooker’s Record Catch | 1118 lb. Pacific Blue Marlin

    Maui County Record Catch: August 3, 2002 1,118 lb. Blue Marlin

    What started out as a dream of catching a, 1000 plus-lb marlin four days earlier turned into reality for Capt. Jeff Kahl Reel Hooker, who set a new Maui County record far the largest marlin landed on a sportfishing charter when he brought in al.118clb blue… When Reese Randall, a semi-pro bass fisherman from Arizona, booked the 35′ Bertram REEL HOOKER, little did he realize that at the end of a grueling hour-and-50-minute fight he would be standing next to a record blue marlin?

    Jeff and Co-Capt. Ryan Fiedorowicz had been fishing the NASA-buoy off the backside of Lana’i and was heading in toward the Palaoa Point Lighthouse on the southwest comer. About 3 miles from the buoy, they had a knockdown on the long corner position.

    A marlin took a quick 50_yard run then came off. Jeff continued trolling ahead for 50 to 75 yards then made a slow turn to head back through the area. As Ryan watched the pattern, the marlin came back in and pulled on the long comer lure again but dropped it. The marlin looked to weigh around 200 Ibs.
