Afternoon Surprise
The START ME UP CUZ picked up an afternoon surprise blue marlin on a four-hour “combo” trip. Mason Sparks angled the 386-pounder. Mason was fishing with Capt. Steve Carroll and deckman Joel Cota.
Steve began trolling as soon as they left the harbor and headed out to do some deep-water jigging on one of the underwater pinnacles off the north side of Kaho‘olawe. When Steve got to the area just inside the corner of “the Box,” Joel started to clear the trolling lures and switch over to jigs. There was one lure still in the water, a 5-inch plug.
