I hope everybody out there tonight had a good night - we released one 58'' fish (still picking away at freezer stocked swordfish). It was a beautiful night because we kept the radios off.
I guess I'm an optimist because I always give 72 a chance. Thursday night, other than a few radio checks and a few "anybody doing anything?" the radio was dead. We did answer that we had 2 fish on, and would have probably shared info if we were asked...
The drift as I saw it, for every mile we drifted north we were being pushed offshore another mile :eek

Congrats on releasing 4 nice fish
