Teenager Kai Rizzuto Reels In A Monster Sized, 1,000-Pound Blue Marlin For Our Catch Of The Day!
During a moment that would have made famed marlin hunter Ernest Hemingway jealous, a Brooklyn teenager hauled in the year’s biggest blue marlin off the coast of Kona, Hawaii. The fish 16-year-old Kai Rizzuto caught weighs 1,058lbs and measures 11 feet from tip to tail. Rizzuto said: ‘I’ll tell you it was the hardest 30 minutes I’ve ever fought a fish. ‘When I saw that fish at the end of line I was just thinking, don’t break off. Do not break off.’ When the fish was finally hauled in, it barely fit on the boat.
