Kona Hawaii Deep Sea Fishing Escapade on the Bite Me 6

If you’re looking for a Kona sport fishing charter, stop scrolling and book Bite Me 6. We fished out of Honokohau Harbor with Captain Brian Harnden and Captain RJ Berger, and it was hands down the highlight of our Big Island vacation. Clean, fast boat with top-notch gear. Brian and RJ had us on the fish quickly — great communication before the trip, on-time departure, and constant coaching once the lines went out. When the reel finally screamed, they walked us through every second of the fight. The result: a 350+ lb blue marlin. Absolutely insane. Arms on fire, adrenaline everywhere, and the crew cheering as loud as we were. They got great photos and video for us too. What set this charter apart was how much fun the captains made it — genuinely good guys who know the Kona blue water better than anyone. Family-friendly, patient with beginners, and 100% worth the price. If you want a shot at a Pacific blue marlin, ono, mahi mahi, or ahi, ask for Bite Me 6. Mahalo Brian and RJ — crazy fun day!

We had an amazing time with Captain Brian on the Bite Me 6 and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip to Kona. I was a little nervous taking my young boys offshore for their first experience, but Captain Brian was fantastic with them from the start. He was patient, friendly, and made them feel like they were part of the crew instead of just passengers. You could tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and wants everyone on the boat to have a great time. To top it all off, he put us on a beautiful yellowfin tuna. Seeing my boys’ faces when that fish hit and getting to experience it together as a family is a memory we’ll have forever. There are a lot of fishing charters to choose from in Kona, but if you’re looking for someone who is great with families, knows where the fish are, and makes the day fun from start to finish, I can’t recommend Captain Brian and the Bite Me 6 enough. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Hawaii. Mahalo for an unforgettable day!

Fantastic trip, Brian and RJ were great!

There are not words to describe just how great our day was with Captain Brian, RJ and Landon. Our family was visiting from Texas and from the time we boarded until the time we returned back to the dock, Captain Brian and RJ treated us like family and friends. Captain Brian operated his boat with the utmost professionalism, but is so personable and helpful at the same time. RJ is the most down to Earth and knowledgeable dude on the island, and coupled with a little “Landon Luck”, we reeled in two wahoo and a trophy Blue Marlin that Brian helped to arranged mounting and shipping. We can’t recommend Bite Me more, and if you have the opportunity to request your Captain and crew, ask for Brian and RJ. You’ll have the time of your lives, guaranteed. Thank you guys!!

We had an incredible day on the water with RJ and Brian! The trip exceeded all of our expectations. We were fortunate enough to catch a 300-pound blue marlin and a striped marlin, making it a fishing experience we’ll never forget. What really made the trip special, though, was Brian and AJ themselves. They were knowledgeable, professional, and worked incredibly hard to put us on fish, but they also made the day fun and relaxed. They treated us like friends from the moment we stepped on the boat and were genuinely invested in making sure we had a great time. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking for an unforgettable day on the water, I can’t recommend Brian and RJ enough. They delivered an amazing experience and created memories that our group will be talking about for years. Mahalo, Brian & RJ!
