My son and I chartered a full day trip with Capt Gaige at Kona Cowboy. We are both experienced at offshore fishing, my son has even fished a number of billfish tournaments in the gulf of Mexico region. We arrived early and Capt Gaige had the boat completely ready to go. Shortly after departing the harbor we had all the lures in the water in an efficient and well practiced manner.... and we were fishing. Early morning action was a bit slow. Capt Gaige never stopped changing tactics, speeds, lures, etc. Just before 11:00 or so we had a nice marlin come into the set and a few tense seconds later then left long began to dump line, we had "fish on". Capt Gaige and my son quickly cleared all the liners and soon we had a nice 275-300# marlin alongside the "Kona Cowboy". After some great photos we released the marlin and continued to fish with another marlin coming in to the set later but we were not able to get him to take take the lure. The day was a perfect day on the water fishing with a knowledgeable, passionate, and professional Captain. We will be back to Kona and when there, we will be fishing with Kona Cowboy again!

Thank you Kent for the nice review.
Capt. Gaige really enjoyed meeting you and fishing with you and Wayne.
I’m glad y’all were able to see a few Blue Marlin.
The pictures were great!
I have fished with Wayne a few times back in The Gulf, and it’s always a pleasure.
Next time you are over, hopefully I will be able to hop on as well.
Take care.
