FIRE HATT SPORTFISHING

Owned and Operated by Chuck and Linda Wilson, "Team FIRE HATT"

Photo Album, Fire Hatt Sportfishing

  Captain Chuck Wilson-left of marlin, along with the crew of Team Fire Hatt (Linda Wilson-far left, Capt BomBoy-right of marlin, and JD Hudson-kneeling) entered the Keauhou Yacht Club Tournament on April 2nd and caught a 669-pound Blue Marlin to smoke the rest of the field.  Anglers Barbara Masters and Betty Eavis tag-teamed the fish and basked in the glory of holding the Big-Fish-Lead until receiving word of JR's Hooker 3-pound advantage the following day.  The anglers fought the fish for a little over an hour. 
  This great fish was caught with Berkley Big Game line on a Shimano Tallus rod and Shimano Tiagra 130 reel.  Linda pulled the chart from Ocean Imaging to find warm water and eventually this Pacific Blue Marlin.
