If you're coming to experience Hawaii sport fishing, you

have one heck of an adventure awaiting you! Anglers from all

over the world journey to these deep blues waters teeming

with trophy fish. This is where you come to get the big

ones. In fact the biggest fish ever caught on rod and reel

was a blue marlin caught just off Oahu, weighing in at a

hefty 1805 lbs. ! Hawaii is so legendary among sport fishing

enthusiasts that several "big-game" tournaments are held

here every year, including the granddaddy of them all, the

Hawaii

Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament, luring fishermen

from all over the globe. Hawaii sport fishing is the home of big-game fish. Some of

the species you'll encounter here are three types of marlin;

blue, black and striped. It's entirely possible to hook

yourself a "grander", meaning a monster fish weighing at

least 1000 lbs. ! Other top game fish include Ahi (Yellowfin

Tuna), Ono (Wahoo), Mahimahi (Dolphin fish), and Skipjack

Tuna. All of these babies can give you a reel-spinning run

for your money, and an experience you'll not soon forget! In

fact the tuna are among the fiercest, most tireless fighters

of the bunch! Only the striped marlin is a sometimes

resident, showing up only in winter. All of the others can

be found year-round. Some of the best fishing spots you'll

want to try would include Kona; long regarded as the best

big-game fishing in the world. Oahu's North Shore is more

famous for it's surfing, but it's just under the surface

here where the real action begins! Actually, there's pretty

much not a bad place for Hawaii sport fishing: some are just

more excellent than others!Booking your Hawaii sport fishing adventure is easy. There

are literally hundreds of charter fishing boats operating

here, offering you a ton of choices. Some things to keep in

mind would be to consider how long you'll want to be out.

Most offer half or full day trips, but also know that of you

want the best chance at hooking a big-game fish, a longer

trip may be called for to give yourself time to get to the

best fishing grounds and keep your line in the water awhile.

No experience or fishing license is required, and should you

hook a trophy fish, taxidermy can be arranged. Come and

experience Hawaii sport fishing and come home with a little

something for that bare wall!Keith Thompson is the webmaster at Hawaii
