I know this isn't the gorge but i thought you guys would like it. Took my son Austin and little brother Matt to Hawaii for their graduation trip, and got in a days fishing. Left the harbor at five am and headed out. The captain asked if we wanted to catch smaller fish or go after big fish. The boys said " go big or go home ", so off we went to see if the big boys wanted to play. First fish of the day my sister caught a thirty pound wahoo. Boy are those suckers fast. Next fish on Austin hung a one hundred eighty pound yellowfin tuna. what a beautiful fish. Dark blue with bright yellow fins. The finale of the fish catching was Matt. He outlasted a four hundred and fifty pound blue marlin. The boys got their wish and went big alright. They both thought they were in good shape, but the fish put a hurting on them for awhile. It was a great experience and they had a ball.

They gave us the wahoo and it was delicious. But the tuna and marlin they sold at market. It is commercial fishing there so all the fish go to the boat. They said the marlin would bring around two grand and the tuna would get almost three grand. Along with what we paid to go they made a chunk of change, but worth every penny.
