Captain Tracy Epstein and crew has impressed us once again by winning first place at the Big Island Marlin Tournament! After earning first place at the Kona Throwdown with a 765.5 blue marlin earlier this month, 40’ Gamefisherman “Last Chance” warmed up on Day 1 of the Big Island Marlin Tournament with a 125 lb blue released by Chad Beaudry, and a 350 pounder on day 2. Day 3 pushed them into the winner’s circle with a first place 525 pound blue marlin, sending them home with a $112,620 purse. Born and raised in Kona, Captain Tracy Epstein has continued his father’s legacy as a leading fishing charter captain on the Big Island of Hawaii. An avid outdoorsman, Captain Tracy is a record-holding fisherman and remains one of the Big Island’s most knowledgeable and energetic charter captains today.
