Sundays success up north

sabiking · 03-21-2005, 11:06 AM

I get a call from Eric (E-Money) to go swording off Palm Beach and about an hour later Joe calls me up to head out. I get Joe to drive up to my house and test the waters up here out. We set up @ 6:45, and got bit about 7:30. At first fish was just coming at us, and the anglers first comment was "I don't think he's that big". Aprox 40 yard from boat he does a big jump in the moon light, and we had a better understanding that a LARGE sword was attached. There were some tense moments for Eric
(the long bait which had power pro was wrapped around the mono topshot of the rod that had the fish on it) and he was a little uneasy about that to say the least.
Joe and I get the lines unwrapped, and Eric settles in for 45 minutes of see-saw battle.

Get the fish up, Seppo does a perfect shot w the dart.
Joe "wrestles" the fish over the side and fish goes ballistic. A little WWF action, and 7 or 8 jabs to the head, and Joe knocked him out cold !!

It was now 8:00, we decided to set back up & fish till 9:30 w/o any more bites.

68" fish 190lbs on scale at Sailfish Marina.
