Hello, This is my first post so I'll probably screw it up. These are some pictures of a daytime swordfishing trip last monday. Got an early start and was at the spot at about 9am. I told my two friends that went that it might be a long day because I was out there two days before and didn't have any luck. The first bait was dropped. I drifted for about 10 min and got hit. This fish was either tired or suicidal because he gave up fast. He was boated in about 10 minutes. He weighed 104 lbs back at the dock.I put that fish in the fish bag for dinner. Next drift, sent the bait down and BAM! got hit instantly. This fish shot up fast. I wasn't sure of his size until he missiles out of the water like a Marlin. Holy Crap that was awesome and I got a picture of it. The fight was on and lasted about three hours. We all took turns on the rod and tried not to use the electric assist on the reel......When this slob was boatside, I could see that he was bleeding as the hook was in his gut. There was also a big-azz shark right behind him. We drove a lot of steel through him and muscled him onto the swim platform. I guessed him at about 300 lbs. Flipped him in the boat and almost lost a nut. Headed home to sharpen the knife and call anyone who I have ever promised fresh fish to and told them to bring their coolers to the dock. I was a little off, the big fish weighed 323 lbs. Wow, What a trip!

Dude... that's the Daiwa MP3000, eh?

Oh Saaantaaaa....

what is "the other site" I need to track down the original author so I can get some firsthand input on the Diawa MP 3000. I burned up my Kristal on a sword a couple of weeks ago and can't find any of the new Lindgrens available immediately. Tired of waiting and the Diawa might be an option.
