Aloha, HBGFC Community — and Congratulations to Team Maverick!

The Hawaii Big Game Fishing Club is alive, well, and growing — and we’re excited to share a quick update and welcome your input.

We just wrapped up the 22nd Annual Neal Isaacs Rock n Reel Hawaiian Open. Congratulations to Team Maverick for landing the winning marlin at 631.5 lbs and taking home the Big Check. Mahalo to all participating teams, sponsors, and volunteers who made the tournament a success.

Our club remains 100% volunteer-run, and every dollar raised goes directly to supporting our clubhouse and community. We're actively planning upcoming events and improvements — so whether you're a longtime member or new to the club, we’d love to hear your ideas and see you on the water.

Team Maverick with the 2025
