I released those fish in hopes of one of our anglers catching them all grown up in one of the tournaments. There's no point in me killing them, messing the boat up, taking the extra time to clean them, and then just have a surplus of swordfish that I haven't eaten yet. The Lindgren's recipe is awesome.
It was nice not to have to hear radio transmissions for one night because of what happened in the tournaments - it really was a peaceful night.
I had a similar drift pattern too...wasn't the prettiest thing but the way the puts fish in the boat is the way that works for me. Hope everyone had a good Saturday night out there - I was bait fishing.
