Weather was great, staying home was not even an option.
Put some baits in the cooler hooked up the Pumpkin Eater and we were gone.
Got out to the 50 line started our first drift around 3pm, 15 min later the rod tip started hopping pushed the drag up and started winding. The sword was charging the to the surface so fast I couldn't keep the line tight.
when she broke the surface her head came out of the water 10 feet
from the boat I called her 400 pounds

We thought we were going to
get a shot then she put the heat on and she went straight back to the bottom.
I looked at Sam and said if this is going to happen it is going to be another
4 hours. We didnt get another look at her for another 4.5 hrs but when
we did I said she was more like 600 pounds

Here are the pics.
I want to say thanks to Drew & Tek for taking the time to help us lift that donkey in the boat and Tek for the awesome photo shots.
My
Dolphin Reel truly held up nice.
TIGHT LINES!
I have alot more photos, Im not able to put them on this thread.
for some reason.
I will get them up as I can.
