Sea Strike has landed numerous world records, including Ray Hawkes' spectacular 1,166-pound blue marlin world record on 50-lb test, caught here in Kona, Hawaii.

KONA FISHING NEWS

The Sea Strike took Mark Jordan and his dad out fishing recently. They hooked a marlin and Mr. Jordan, Sr. jumped in the chair to do battle. You can get the job done relatively quickly with a marlin weighing less than 200 pounds, but it isn't necessarily a good idea to get the fish to the back of the boat too quickly. These fish can be dangerous, and if they come in too hot, they can actually jump into the boat and right through the nearest person.

On this particular day, Captain Dale got some great footage of the marlin behind the boat. Check out the video on the left, and enjoy.
