300+ Pound Blue Marlin Released by Conner Nilsen, 11 Years Old




I took my son Conner out fishing on the Fish Wish with Capt. Kent during our trip to Kona, Hawaii. We left the Honokoa harbor around 8am and put the lures in the water just outside the harbor. It wasn't long before the 300+ pound Blue Marlin came charging across the wake and picked up the inside lure. Kent is one of a few boats in Kona that fishes all Accurate ATD-50w's with 130 Braid for big game Blue Marlin fishing with great success.

The blue took a long run with several jumps. Conner fought hard and released the blue in 20 minutes. Great first Blue Marlin Conner, congratulations!!
