Kona Throw Down July 5th.

July 7, 2018 by Captain Chris Donato

Finished the kona throwdown out of the money. No boats weighed a fish so Andy got his entry back. ( that’s a good tournament policy ). Had a great time and we had our chances, 3 hours left on day three had one in that 600-650 range eat the @koyalures808 bullet. Everything went a little too smooth, had her on for awhile. We all did everything right, tackle was on point, angler was kicking ass and fish was coming up from the deep to give us an early shot, but just as the gaff men got ready mysteriously she came unhooked & we watched big money swim away but that’s the game. Lots of Friggin kona Houdini marlin this week. Thanks Andy for putting the chips on the table we will get her next time bud. Thanks @jayblesphoto & @viciouscyclefishing I felt good knowing you guys were in the pit for when we needed to seal the deal ! #benchmark #kona #hawaii #bluemarlin @pelagicgear #pelagichawaiikona charter fishing

Hoping to finish off strong and dry one off tmrw, bring on day three !! The BMWC was won also today in Kona, bringing the cup back to big island.
