Captain Marlin Parker of Marlin Magic Sportfishing does it again with a 940!

Location: Kailua-Kona, HI

Kailua-Kona remains one of the top Pacific destinations for massive Blue Marlin . Thanks in part to the Hawaiian Island's remote location far in the Pacific Ocean, it is an oasis for Pelagic fish and more notably the highly sought after giants of the sea, the Blue Marlin. Kona is a unique destination in which sportfishermen can actively fish any day of the year (weather pending) and have a chance at a possible Grander Marlin.

Captain Marlin Parker and the Marlin Magic II

Marlin fishing has been a long tradition in the Parker family on Kona. In 1954, George Parker (Marlin's father) landed the first grander Marlin ever taken in U.S. waters. Over 50 years later Marlin Parker continues the family tradition of big-game fishing off Hawaii. With countless years of experience, the Marlin Magic Sportfishers remain top of the game in Kona.

Marlin Magic II

Captain Marlin Parker and the crew of the Marlin Magic II kick off the season in Kona with a solid 940lb Blue. With the assistance of Captain Jason Holtz (gaffer) and noted kona-based marine artist and fisher-woman extraordinaire Carol Lynne , another bad-boy Blue is landed. As shown by the Marlin Magic, it is sure to be a hot upcoming billfish season!
