Here's a 401.5 lb Blue we were intending to release but she got tailwrapped and died on us so gave her to a friend to smoke for us. Here's some pics of one we did release we estimated around 450-500. Small one we released a few days ago. Nicer one around 650 we released the same day

Had an incredible trip with Captain Shawn and his first mate, Tara. This was our first trip to Hawaii and we had a great experience catching a 400# black marlin. The two of them were both very patient, informative, and very understanding with us newbies to deep sea fishing. We would highly recommend a trip with them and will joint them again when and if we make it back.

Our family had an incredible time on this trip. The marlin got off the hook, but my son reeled in a 68” yellow tail. The crew were knowledgeable and worked hard to take care of us. Don’t pass on Captain Experiences.

We are visiting from California and have many years of deep sea fishing off the California coast. We specialized in catching mako sharks. We booked a half day charter hoping to experience the thrill of catching fish off of the Big Island. We were not disappointed. Skipper Dusty and mate RJ worked very hard to pursue big fish off of Kona. Both of these guys were very professional, enthusiastic, and very personable. Near the end of our charter we hadn’t caught anything but Dusty and RJ kept working hard. And BANG! All of a sudden we had a hook up with a 200+ pound Pacific blue marlin. What a fight! What a beautiful fish. We got him to the boat took pictures and set him free. Just an incredible experience. We highly recommend Dusty for a great adventure in deep sea angling. FISH ON!

Trip: Half Day Charter 4 Hours
Amazing fishing trip! Shawn and Joe were fantastic. We brought our 8-year son along, and they were incredibly patient with him - even when he was going on and on about Pokemon, lol. The morning started out a little slow, but picked up about 3 hours in. We ended up landing two ono, one right as we were heading back in for the day. They let us keep as much of the fish as we wanted, and we enjoyed grilling it on the beach the next day. We also did some bottom fishing, which was a lot of fun for our son. He got to reel in several interesting little fish and stayed engaged the whole time. Overall, it was a great experience with a friendly, knowledgeable crew. Highly recommend!

What a great experience! I have three sons (ages 10–15), and they had a fantastic time being out on the water and learning about fishing. Charles and Scott were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip enjoyable for everyone. A special thank-you to Charles, who helped my oldest son reel in an ono—an unforgettable moment and definitely one of the highlights of our time on the Big Island. We highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun and memorable fishing adventure!

Lance and Jack were top notch. I would give them 10 stars!!!! They worked hard and were very professional. They gave great instruction and coached and cheered you through all the catches. I would book them for every future trip!

Captain Lance and crew mate Jack were great. Had a great morning even if the fish did not cooperate. Boat was clean and comfortable

Lance the captain and Jack the mate are an excellent and knowledgeable crew! The boat is comfortable with plenty of room. The day started off a little slow but got pretty exciting with multiple bites resulting in two Blue Marlin getting brought up to the boat! Highly recommended booking with Lance.
