Vintage Chum - Fear and Loathing in Hawaii Edition

The photo shows American gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson on the Kailua Pier in Kona, Hawaii. Thompson is standing alongside a 308 pounds marlin he caught while fishing aboard the Humdinger. In his left hand, he is holding what is described as “a short-handled Samoan war club” which was used to kill the beast. The whole story is told in letters Thompson wrote to his friend, the famous illustrator Ralph Steadman, to whom the photo is dedicated. Thompson signed the photo “Lono”, a Hawaiian deity he believes to be the resurrection of.

Steadman illustrated the event in this piece called the Hook Up for Thompson's book The Curse of Lono.
