Fishing Information

I took my then 11 year old daughter Jada fishing on the charter boat I run last New Years Day (2003) just the two of us and we entered the NYD fishing tournament. We won with a 514lb blue marlin that Jada angled all herself, $4,600.00 and an IGFA junior girls blue marlin WORLD RECORD!

Personal Background

Married 14 years to Tara, 2 daughters Kari and Jada are 8 and 12 respectively. I was born in Michigan, 2 blocks from a small lake and lived there till I was 11, stated cutting my teeth about the same time I started fishing there. My family moved to Newport Beach CA and I started saltwater fishing there then a few years out of high school in'81 I moved to Hawaii. I settled in Kona in '88 where I've been ever since crewing and skippering charter boats. I am currently running the ROD BENDER and have done so since she arrived here brand new in Jan. '99.
