About
The Firecracker Open, held in Kona, Hawaii from July 3-6, is a four-day billfishing tournament targeting blue marlin, black marlin, striped marlin, and yellowfin tuna. Part of the Hawaii Marlin Tournament Series, the event draws competitive crews from the Kona fleet who fish for tag-and-release points and optional jackpots throughout the tournament dates. Competition focuses on both marlin releases and weighed catches, with opportunities to earn "Top Boat," "Top Angler," and "Biggest Marlin" honors.
