Our Story
Kraken Fish Co presents the purpose-built lure, meticulously designed by Captain Cyrus Widhalm. With over a 15 years of relentless dedication, Captain Cyrus has perfected the action of Kraken lures, establishing his legacy in Kona's esteemed sport fishing heritage. His expertise has been honed in the deep volcanic waters of the Big Island, where he has left an indelible mark.
Captain Cyrus embarked on his journey 15 years ago on a nameless, homebuilt skiff. Determination and unwavering passion, he swiftly ascended the ranks, ultimately captaining two of Kona's premier sportfishing boats, Apex and Kraken.
The pinnacle of Kraken Fish Co's triumph came in 2023, when Captain Cyrus led his team to a resounding victory in the Blue Marlin World Cup. The winning fish, an awe-inspiring 834.5 pounds, shattered records as the largest fish ever to claim the World Cup in Kona. It was during this historic moment that Captain Cyrus hooked the winning fish using the now-iconic "Worldcup" lure. This monumental achievement not only solidified Captain Cyrus's reputation as a masterful captain and lure maker but also marked the largest tournament prize in Kona's storied history.
