Wide-Range Fish Weight Angler Location Date Amberjack (Kahala) 151 lbs 8 oz Justin Lazar Kona, Hawaii 7/1/10 Justin Lazar angled this massive, 151.5-lb greater amberjack with a little help from two other anglers during a trip with Capt. Jeff Rogers outside Kona. The big fish ate a live bait in 80 fathoms of water and it took the combined efforts of three anglers to raise the stubborn fish using a Penn 30W reel, Jarvis Walker Tuff Tip pole and 100-lb test braided line.
