On January 30, the day before the New Year of the old calendar, a big blue marlin or kurokawakajiki, 4 meters long and weighing 333 kilograms was caught on Kumejima Island. Captain Kunio Nakamichi, 63, a member of the Kumejima Fishery Cooperative, caught the big fish after a struggle of about two hours.
Nakamichi said with a big smile, “This is the first time that I have caught such a large marlin. I can celebrate a good New Year.”
Fishermen on the island caught a big catch, including seika or diamond squid and albacore tuna. This blue marlin was put up for auction at the fish market on the main island of Okinawa.
