Meet Captain Dave

Captain Dave (David Crawford) has over 18 years of professional deep sea fishing experience, most of it from right in Hawaii. His passion for fishing has led him to fish 17 different Hawaiian Islands, as well as Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Southern California, and Costa Rica. He was born into a charter fishing family in Hawaii and caught his first Blue Marlin at the age of 10. Captain Dave has many years of commercial fishing under his belt, catching Big Eye and Yellowfin Tuna. These fishing trips would keep him out to sea for up to 8 days at a time. His real passion is being a father and taking youngsters fishing on the Kona Blue where he attempts to help them snag a fish of a lifetime. “There is nothing more satisfying than bringing a smile to a youngster’s face as I help them catch their first fish... and continuing to bring that smile back for the same kid year after year. It’s amazing to watch them and their understanding of the ocean grow”.
