Tantrum Sportfishing Announces Multiple 2024 Tournament Victories and Commitment to Sustainable Fishing Practices

Tantrum Sportfishing Announces Multiple 2024 Tournament Victories and Commitment to Sustainable Fishing Practices

Tantrum Sportfishing has earned multiple tournament victories and tag-and-release awards and redefined Kona Fishing with performance-driven, full-service charter offerings.
United States, June 9, 2025 -- Kona Fishing: A Destination Defined by Depth
Located along the western coastline of Hawaii's Big Island, Kona is known for offering immediate access to deep-sea fishing opportunities. Unlike many fishing destinations that require extended travel from shore to drop lines, Kona's underwater topography allows charters to begin fishing minutes after departing Honokohau Harbor. This unique feature has made the region a mecca for big game anglers targeting blue marlin, yellowfin tuna (ahi), mahi mahi, ono (wahoo), and shortbill spearfish.
This award season follows one of the company's most successful fishing years on record. Capturing accolades across multiple species and geographic segments, Tantrum Sportfishing continues to set a standard in Kona, Hawaii, and throughout the Pacific Ocean.
Kona Fishing: A Destination Defined by Depth
Located along the western coastline of Hawaii's Big Island, Kona is known for offering immediate access to deep-sea fishing opportunities. Unlike many fishing destinations that require extended travel from shore to drop lines, Kona's underwater topography allows charters to begin fishing minutes after departing Honokohau Harbor. This unique feature has made the region a mecca for big game anglers targeting blue marlin, yellowfin tuna (ahi), mahi mahi, ono (wahoo), and shortbill spearfish.
Tantrum Sportfishing capitalizes on these natural advantages with a refined charter model centered on premium equipment, local knowledge, and a passion for sustainable sportfishing.
Technology Meets Tenacity
Tantrum Sportfishing separates itself by integrating advanced fishing technology with seasoned intuition. One of its defining technological assets is the Furuno Omnidirectional Sonar, a cutting-edge fish-finding system with unparalleled detection accuracy. Combined with a purpose-built 41-foot G&S boat—regarded by many in the industry as one of the top 50 fishing vessels ever designed—the charter's setup is tailored for pursuing big game fish with precision.
Every charter is customized to guest preferences, blending serious fishing capabilities with an attention to comfort, which includes air conditioning, a private restroom, and onboard meal and beverage service.
Experience Beyond the Catch
Central to Tantrum's success is its commitment to creating meaningful experiences for anglers of all backgrounds. Whether hosting families, first-time fishers, or veteran tournament participants, the crew adapts each trip to fit the goals and pace of their guests.
'Our crew isn't just here to run the boat—they live and breathe the water,' said a representative from Tantrum Sportfishing. 'They know when to change tackle, where the fish move during certain tides, and they genuinely care whether or not every client has a memorable time out on the water.'
The team's approach counters an increasingly common trend in tourist-heavy destinations, where charters may prioritize volume over experience. Tantrum's business model instead emphasizes quality, care, and consistency.
Tournament Triumphs and Responsible Practices
The awards collected by Tantrum Sportfishing speak to their operational excellence and their contribution to marine conservation. Tag and release programs are central to Tantrum, allowing scientists and conservationists to study migration patterns, population health, and breeding behaviors of pelagic species.
Tantrum's success in tag-and-release categories demonstrates a balance between sport and stewardship. It advances research efforts while allowing guests to engage in responsible fishing practices.
Avoiding the Tourist Trap: A Local Approach
Unlike high-volume charters focusing on packaged entertainment, Tantrum takes pride in its authenticity. The team refrains from exaggerated guarantees, offering transparency, local expertise, and a commitment to integrity on each outing.
'Our job isn't to promise a fish—it's to give people the best chance possible using the tools, talent, and timing we have,' the representative noted. 'Fishing is unpredictable, but preparation is everything.'
With this ethos, Tantrum provides a credible alternative to what the company calls 'tourist trap' charters—operators that may offer surface-level experiences without the depth of skill or local immersion.
What's Biting in Kona: A Glimpse Beneath the Surface
The variety and abundance of species available in Kona waters add to the appeal of a Tantrum charter. In recent seasons, clients have successfully tagged and released:
With sonar support, a veteran crew, and years of pattern-based knowledge, Tantrum consistently locates productive areas to maximize opportunity while reducing unnecessary travel time.

Sacramento Railyards soccer stadium plan faces key city council vote

A key Sacramento city council vote deciding the future of Republic FC's new soccer stadium is set for Tuesday. Plans for Republic FC's new home, an expandable 12,000-seat facility, can't come to life without figuring out how to cover infrastructure in the area – things like roadways, pedestrian bike lanes, and traffic lights that the city estimates will to cost north of $90 million. Tuesday's vote will be to approve a special tax district that the city is looking to use to cover the cost. "I think this one is a good investment. We're not investing, subsidizing the stadium," said Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty. The Railyards development will cost an estimated $321 million at least, according to city numbers, with most of it privately funded, like Republic FC's stadium and the area around it. Developers of the project – including Indomitable Ventures, formed by Republic FC – would pay for the infrastructure costs up front, then be reimbursed through funds generated by the special tax district. "We're subsidizing the infrastructure by giving a return on property taxes that but for this project wouldn't be generated anyways," McCarty said. If approved by the council, the deal would commit the city to paying more than $90 million to the project developers in the form of future tax revenue from the soccer stadium and central shops. McCarty says construction would start this year if the plan passes. The stadium is planned to be opened by 2027.
