I appreciate that! really means alot to hear people enjoying these videos and gaining some insight from what I have to say. All the very best to you !! thank you for watching
In 2002 my brother and I chartered the Jacque Apito out of Kona, and not far outside the harbor I hooked up on a blue marlin. The fight lasted maybe half hour and we landed it safely. It weighed in at 275 lbs, and I let the skipper keep it. We caught mahi mahi and a wahoo, as well. That trip was one of the greatest adventures of my life and I dream of going back. Thanks for sharing your video, I thoroughly enjoyed watching and hearing your commentary.
I just love the first 10 minutes of this video mate… that’s such a great message and advice for life, not just fishing.. we are lucky to even get out to try and catch these fish… so good.. I’m sharing this wide
Wow thank you so much. Means the world to me that any of these videos can be helpful or give any perspective on things to people. My goal with these is to provide some positive influence to the sport and hopefully help some people catch some fish along the way. Comments like this make it worth doing. I appreciate it !
Keep it up Chris .. I’m 15yrs into my marlin fishing career, for want of a better term and I’ve had enough experiences to know what I’m doing, but I struggle to the time I would like to go out and as a result I have long periods of not much happening..so this message encourages me to just keep going and keep positive… one of the best things I ever heard was from a cousin of mine who has done lots of marlin fishing and caught plenty.. he just said time on the water and being prepared.. all you need.. the rest will come..
Every other fisherman can have a dead day and one guy , it is his day and everything happens for him and he has the best day ever. 90% of good fortune is just showin up.
Dammm ive been watching this channel and you and and your deckhand are PROS so true” take your excitement down” that was awesome you recognized the situation at hand im from Hilo and we launch out of Honokohau at least once or twice a month we take our little Force 18 out last month we were coming in and you were right on our butts coming in the harbor I was like 😳then you dock right there next to the ramp like a PRO come to find out it’s Captain Chris AWESOME LIKE YOUR ANALOGY GOD BLESS I just subscribed 🤙🏾
Becarful the pacific is cold and blues are wayyyyy more fiesty than big blacks. 😂😂😂😂😂 bro. Its summer and you are wearing a sweatshirt 😂😂😂 thats not warm..
Backing up so much I think the angler loses some of the experience of fighting the fish.. Chasing down for tournament but for sportfishing. Feel that power.
You spent entirely too much time talking in this video lol. It was 20 minutes of talking, 10 minutes of watching a guy slowly reel in, and 5 mins of action. The vid should have been 15 mins tops.
Love your honesty. Your words are not just about fishing but valuable life lessons we all need. Your videos are the best. Thanks so much.

Thank you, Capt Chris - for the video, the words of wisdom, and the experience. Definitely a day I will never forget!
Absolutely! was one for the memory bank brother
