2010 HIBT program - Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament
51 st Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament Kailua-Kona, Hawaii August 2 - 6, 2010 Official Program $5.00 annual 1959-2010 P The Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament resented by the Hawaiian International Billfish Association, Inc. (HIBA), a non-profit corporation and was incorporated in 1974. Its’ major work was to operate a fishing tournament created by six men in 1959, to assume the work and records of the HIBT from Peter Fithian and direct attention to Kailua-Kona as a year round quality Big Fish (Marlin and Tuna) destination. The six men were Porter Dickenson, Peter S. Fithian, Dudley C. Lewis, Richard F. MacMillan, Desmond Stanley, Edward D. Sultan, Sr. and C.M. Cooke III joined soon after. It later became evident that there was little or no knowledge about the life cycle of the Marlin. Due to John C. Marr’s urging, the HIBA Board founded a 501C3 Scientific Corporation and called it the Pacific Ocean Research Foundation (PORF). Over a period of 15 years, more than 65 scientific papers were written by scientists with credit to PORF. Your participation will aid in the continuance of these efforts. The Directors would also like to acknowledge, with thanks, the significant financial assistance received from the County of Hawaii Economic Development funds. Not pictured below but should be recognized, is Director Roberta Fithian. Directors Sincere appreciation to the many volunteers and donors who help to make the HIBT the unique experience it is.

Founded in 1959 by Peter Fithian, this tournament has become one of the most exciting fishing competitions in the world, showcasing big game fishing at its best. Each year, the tournament draws teams from across the Pacific and around the world, including Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Japan, Korea, Tahiti, South Africa, Canada and the rest of the United States to come and compete in our waters. We extend our sincere gratitude to all of the sponsors and organizers for making this world-class sporting event possible and highlighting Hawai‘i as a premier location for fishing for more than 50 years. Our best wishes for another successful tournament.

But could that title be in jeopardy because, of all things, conservation of the resource? Back in the first quarter-century of the HIBT, 1959 through 1984, if a sportfisherman caught a grander here, it was sure to be weighed, photographed and counted in the annals of legendary feats. In 1978, for example, Kona’s biggame fishing fleet recorded five granders. That total was matched in 1985 and again in 1986, making these the three best “grander” years in Kona history. In recent years, we are more likely to see only one or two at the scales. Those reduced numbers have happened despite a bigger, better equipped, and better-skilled sportfishing fleet compared with the early days. Back in the 1960s, for example, it was rare to see a grander at the scales (only seven recorded from 1960 through 1973). If a big fish hit, the angler was usually outgunned because of his gear. The wooden rod butt might not survive the initial force of the strike and if it did, the straight butt was at a leverage disadvantage. Those big old Penn Senator 16/0 reels made a great deal of ratchet racket, but their drags burned up from the blistering run of a half-ton fish and their one-speed 12 | H.I.B.T. 2010 gear ratios made the angler sweat for every inch of line he could get back. Meanwhile, the typical battle strategy worked against the fisherman. Those pioneers thought the best scheme was to slug it out toe-to-toe until the fish wore itself out from the constant stress. It wasn’t until the 1970s that anglers got an important lesson from billfish scientists. The longer the fight the more likely the fish would win. Much of the true physiology of a fishfight came out through scientific symposia sponsored by the HIBT and the Pacific Ocean Research Foundation. The lesson: It’s best to go after a big fish early when it is still relying on its sprint muscles. When it settles down into marathon mood two things can happen and both are bad. The grander you think you are fighting may resume its normal life while you trail along futilely behind. Big billfish have been known to resume feeding hours into a fight, unhindered by the minor nuisance that is you. (They’ve also resumed mating, too. Anglers often report that their giant female adversaries get swarmed by smaller males during the fight.) Or the giant fish dives down into the depths where it dies and leaves you with the impossible task of lifting a half-ton of dead weight on a puny fishing line. Knowing that you have to get to the fish fast, skippers learned how to maneu- ver their increasingly faster, nimbler and more powerful craft to get close quickly. Anglers took full advantage of their bentbutt rods, two-speed lever-drag reels, and bucket-seat harnesses to keep up. Once they were close enough, they could take their best shot. In the old days, that best shot would be with a flurry of flying gaffs. These days, it is just as likely to be with a tagging stick. And there, at last, is where we have reached the dilemma. Without a weight and a photo, who knows how many granders are really caught here each year? If I counted all of the possible granders reported to me each month as tagged and released, the numbers would be staggering. I’m talking about dozens per year. And that’s not counting all of the skippers who follow the keep-mum maxim: “If you don’t weigh it, don’t say it.” While it is true that anglers have estimates bigger than their experiences, very reliable skippers have told me about releases they say have definitely topped the 1,000-pound mark. In many cases, those estimates also involved length measurements taken when the fish was fighting at the stern or boatside. If we factor in those reliable reports, the actual number of granders “caught” here (the word “caught” including those officially tagged and released) would be www.hibtfishing.com at least two or three times the one or two weighed. The increasing use of light tackle with bonus points for light tackle catches in tournaments has also put the possibility of a big-fish catch in jeopardy. It is obviously more difficult to catch a giant marlin on, say, 50-pound-class tackle, than on 130. Indeed, when the HIBT gave up the use of 130 a quarter century ago, some predicted that the event’s big-fish days were over. In a rare twist of fate, two HIBT competitors then weighed granders on 50 and set IGFA records for the line class. Even the catching of a huge fish on any tackle doesn’t guarantee victory in an event like the HIBT. In the 2008 running of the HIBT, Laguna Niguel Team #2 caught a 973-pound blue – one of the biggest fish in the 50-year history of the series. Yet Laguna Niguel couldn’t ride its dorsal fin into first place and had to catch a 695-pound blue and then tag a third fish to win. (One good snack on a 27-pound baitfish and the 973-pound Marlin Magic catch would have been the third grander of 2008.) Despite the emphasis on tag and release and light tackle, the first decade of the 21 first century has actually turned out to be the second best decade in the history of Kona’s grander fishery with 22 granders weighed from 2000 to 2010 compared with 23 from 1980 to 1990. www.hibtfishing.com What’s more, the new emphasis on conservation through tag and release is giving Kona an even better reputation as a place where billfishermen care enough to protect the fishery. In the final anaylsis, that’s a better reason why Kona deserves its title as “Blue Marlin Capital of the Pacific.” Jim Rizzuto’s latest book “Luremaking 101/102” is a must-read for all anglers interested in getting more enjoyment out of lure-trolling. Just published a few weeks ago, it is available only through the author. Email rizzuto@aloha. net for details. Jim has written about Hawaii fishing since 1964. In addition to “The Kona Fishing Chronicles” series, he is the author of “Modern Hawaiian Gamefishing” (The University of Hawaii Press) and the three-volume “Fishing Hawaii Style” series (published by Hawaii Fishing News). His weekly column appears in the Kona newspaper West Hawaii Today, and his monthly column in Hawaii Fishing News.

Currently I am attending college and majoring in graphic design. I’m a licensed hairstylist and makeup artist and have a clothing line called NVuS clothing. While I enjoy shopping, going to the beach, training and competing on the “Average Joe’s” team in mixed martial arts, I love spending time with my 1 1/2yr old son. I would love to build my career as a model and soon get into acting. I’m currently working with a manager Jon Sabati who has taught me a lot in the modeling industry. My future plans are to live spontaneously and enjoy everything in life that God has to offer. I like to try new things, get a little taste of different opportunities and enjoy meeting new people.
