AikaneX5 catches Marlin on snorkel trip in Maui

LAHAINA — The 62-foot powercat AikaneX5 had a surprising catch on one of their snorkel trips, landing a 257.5-pound blue marlin by crew Sheena Rinkenderger and Chris Love with Capt. Terry “Killer” Kellam and crew Melissa Mifsud.
They were coming back from a snorkel trip at Honolua Bay and wanted to catch an ono for dinner. Killer made an ono run right off the point at Kapalua Bay. Suddenly, a marlin came in and hit the short corner “stubby” 50-class rod running on the starboard side of the stern railing and went ballistic. It jumped and tail-walked, doing circles and ripping across the water all over the place for at least five minutes.
