Most serious anglers have experienced those magical days that for whatever reason, fishing becomes a world-class affair. And it doesn't matter what you're fishing for. Whether you get into a mess of white bass, or sail fish only seem to want to eat what you've baited your hook with, it's what makes fishing an absolute gas.

Troy Kincaid was having one of those days far, far away from his home in Mainprize, Saskatchewan Canada. His stage for the day was the amazingly beautiful coast of the Hawaii's big island. Having gained his sea legs just last year, Kincaid was hoping to land a fish that would eclipse 78 pounds, which was his largest to date.

  • Jim Kuranda

    Very cool. But still seems a little selfish.
    Kill all those fish and STILL want to go for one more.

    • Bob Myers

      Those fish are game fish and money for the Captain's boat. Try living and working on the water in Hi.

    Troy needs to read the book "Four Fish" A creature as amazing as that tuna needs to be protected.

  • John ODonnell
