Nearshore Fish Weight Angler Location Date
Porcupine Fish 17 lbs 12 oz Merrick Nishimoto Kailua-Kona, Hawaii 01/24/03

Merrick was fishing in 10 feet of water on the Kailua-Kona shoreline when a monster-sized porcupinefish inhaled a piece of ika that he was using as bait. The fish put up quite a battle against Merrick's 12-lb test line, but he got the job done!
