A few pictures, 2 big swords, 480 and 530, bigger took 35mins the other 10 and a half hours! The tail, sword and fins on the 480 were huge.
530 was wrapped up and hook not even in fish, bait was reused. 480 was hooked below dorsal, there and pectoral fin are my least favourite spots to hook a big sword! (best would be tail-wrapped)
First sword (350) mounted.
New 13lb pancake taken a hit inside 10 minutes of going down.

How big do you reckon the fish were that wore these swords.
Clue the one on the left was just under 400lbs.

That's a hell of a swat in the lead.
