Captains/Guides
Captain, Russell Tanaka, spent 15 years commercially fishing Ahi (Yellowfin Tuna) before crossing over to the Charter industry in 1995. He is one of the hardest working anglers you’ll ever meet. His 35+ years of experience and methodical attention to every detail, is reflected by a quiet disposition, Magic’s beauty and performance, our diligent crew, right down to the gear we use. Since running the Magic, he’s held a 90-95% catch rate.
An accomplished fisherman in sport as well, he’s one of the only men in the history of Hawaiian fishing to catch 3 “Granders” (Blue Marlin, over 1,000 lbs) And in 2010 he caught 100+ Ahi, all weighing 100+ lbs! The entire fleet in Kewalo Harbor collectively, did not catch even 100 that same year!
Every year since, he continues to bring in the most Ahi and notable catches.
Some state records include:
•Most Yellow-fin caught in 1 day (17)
•Most Shibi caught in one day (47)
•Most Blue Marlin caught in 1 day (5)
•Most Striped Marlin caught in 1 day (11)
•Most Mahi Mahi caught in 1 day (81!!)
Captain “Toots”, runs our weekend/holiday charters as well as days Russell isn’t available. With his own records and over 45 years of experience, he has been Capt. Russell’s mentor and taught him all that he knows about fishing.
No matter which of our Captains you get, remember that you are getting all those years of Hawaii fishing experience!
