Well Team Reel Bonus headed out for the Ft Lauderdale Swordfish tournament, caught some baits and headed out to the grounds, Slow night for a while then all the live baits starting getting hit about as fast as we could get them down, went 0-3 real quick then it slowed down again, around 1:30 the flat line with a Squid starts screaming, get tight and Mick says the fish is on the surface and out of the water comes a nice Mahi, fire drill starts as Mick gets the fish to the other side of the boat away from the jugs, pass the rod off the my brother and he starts his battle, five minutes later Mick grabs the leader I stick it with the gaff and into the fish box he goes. Phin Measured out at 56 inches and weighed 34.43 pounds. Weighed at Competition Tackle this morning.

As soon as Don sends me the pictures I will get them posted.

No Swordies but not complaining about our catch

and allways great to get out when the conditions are so nice

Nice fish cap, we've caught 6 nice ones the same way in our last few trips, the biggest weighed 41#'s. It ate a squid at 125'.
