200+ Cherry Popper

Uncle Buck · 01-02-2006, 09:04 AM

Friday 12/30: Man... what a night! Sounds like a bunch of us sword virgins got violated! Heard about Nick C on the radio (congrats!), then... after a 2 hour fight, the gaff was in mine. 75-inches!!! My back's gonna hurt for a week. I went out with Johnny (Another Grand), Garret, and Will.

All in all, we went 4/6. One release, one 48", one 61", and my 75". Anyone know how much an average 75 weighs?

Thanks Johnny for a great first darkside trip!

Looks like you have one there that goes 150 to 175 lbs.

I caught my first fiah over 200lbs that was 75 inches and 211 lbs at the lighthouse point marina scale. The picture is in the 200lbs gallery. It's hard to predict the weight of swprdfish only by length, I cuaght a 73 inch fish that was 217 lbs.

We figured that 61-incher was about 130-140, maybe more. Stupid me, I didn't get the girth measurements. ](*,)
