880# pacific blue marlin caught in Kona by 14 year old KJ
The Kona Classic Fishing Tournament starts off the Maui Jim Tournament Series each year.  Team Sea Strike won the 2006 marlin division with this 880 pound pacific blue marlin

One of the many Pacific blue marlin tagged during a Kona marlin tournament in any given year

 

 Literally hundreds of pacific blue marlin are tagged and released in Kona tournaments each year.  In many tournaments, the minimum qualifying weight of a captured pacific blue marlin is 300 pounds or greater.  Points are given for each tagged marlin, adding to a team's total score.
Marlin are excellent eating and may be prepared many ways, so marlin brought to the scale do not go to waste.  However, we in the Kona fishing community want to preserve our quality of fishing for future generations, so conservation is a priority.
