The 2013 Firecracker Open was won by Capt. Brian Wargo who showed that tenacity and the fact that it ain’t over til it’s over can pay off, as they moved from no score to top score with John Bowers doing the angling duties. According to John, “I pretty much sat on my ass until the last hour, fought the fish and now have to sit on a plane back to California to go to work in the morning.” Such is life at the Hawaii Marlin Tournament Series. 17 Blue Marlin and 10 Ahi were caught in two days. Check back for finals. This 513 pound blue was literally “fished up” in the last minutes of the last day.

Great News for anyone wanting to fish The Big Island, Hawaii Deep Sea Fishing is now working with one of the worlds top Marlin Fishermen. (Marlin Parker) Marlin has 3 Pacific Grandeurs and 38 years experience. Its an honor to be working with a legend. If you take a charter on one of his 2 boats, ask him what he did with his 1400 lbs Marlin after it was caught!!
Marlin Parker began chartering professionally in 1976. While at the helm of his first boat, the ISLANDER - only months after receiving his captain's license - he landed what, at the time, was the largest blue marlin ever weighed in at Kailua-Kona on 80-pound class tackle, a 1,257-pound monster. It was a prophetic beginning for this skipper who is regarded as one of the best marlin fisherman in the islands, and even worldwide.
