HAWAII: Angler catch a 1,368 pound blue marlin

Anglers Darrell Omori and Guy Kitaok aboard the vessel Dayna fishing off Kona island, Hawaii, landed a monster 1,368 pound - 619 kg blue marlin. They caught this huge marlin while fishing aboard a 20-foot skiff This blue marlin is the largest blue marlin caught off Hawaii in 23 years, and is only eight pounds shy of the world record; a giant 1,376-pound blue caught off Kona back in 1982 and 1400 pounder in, 1990 However, Kitaoka was using an electric reel, so even if the fish had been nine pounds heavier, it could not have qualified as a world record.
