WOW! Teenager Reels in MASSIVE 14-foot/1,058-Pound FISH! [PICTURES]

A New York Teenager got the shock of his life when he landed a giant 1,058-pound blue marlin off the coast of Hawaii.

It wasn’t a record sized marlin, but at over one thousand pounds it was far bigger than the 55-pound fish which was the biggest fish that teen Kai Rizzuto caught before.

The fish was 14 feet long which, as Kai said[1], “is five times as big as me.”

“He has quite a bit of experience in big game fishing, but this was the first time that he has been the guy on the rod and reel for a blue marlin,” Jim Rizzuto said.

Kai and his grandfather were out on the charter boat Ihu Nui — Hawaiian for “big nose” — near Kahaluu Beach along the Kona coast, on the west side of the Big Island, when he hooked the big fish Wednesday.

“It was jumping straight out of the water, fully breached, shaking its head trying to free itself,” Kai told CNN. “I was really hoping and praying that nothing would happen to this fish and that it wouldn’t break off [the line].”

It took Kai about 30 minutes to reel in the fish, which was so long that the tail end of it was hanging off the 45-foot boat, Jim Rizzuto said. From there, it took four people to lift the fish into the boat.

That’s one big fish!
