Their overall point total puts them in strong contention for top boat in the Maui Jim Series, which they won last year.</div> <div> Hooked Up hooked both the 645-pounder and the tournament winner on the same lure, a purple-and-black Wide-Range Softhead ™. The fish hit about an hour before the high-tide change and stripped off a quarter mile of line on the strike. Then angler Tom Koenig got it to the boat in 40 minutes. </div> <div> “That lure has been good to us lately, but the catches were very far apart,” Chuck said. “We got the 464 off Captain Cook and the 650 at the Top Corner of ‘The Grounds.’”</div> <div> According to Chuck, The Grounds has been loaded with bait and birds from the Middle to the Top. </div> <div> “Lots of aku running around,” Chuck said.</div> <bR> <div> <B><U>2008 Tournament Results</U></B></div> <div> <B> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="198" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 150 ><NOBR><div> <B><IMG SRC="6acbf8f0.jpg" border=0 width="191" height="143" ALT="tournament fishing kona hawaii" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 150 ><NOBR><div> <B><IMG SRC="6aebf8f0.jpg" border=0 width="191" height="143" ALT="fishing hawaii" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 140 ><NOBR><div> <B><IMG SRC="6aac8850.jpg" border=0 width="200" height="133" ALT="fishing kona hawaii" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> <div> <B>2008 Maui Jim Marlin Series Champion -
