Totally freakin amazing you got the fish in without the leader being bitten. Makes me reconsider my idea of getting some 50's. :shock:

20 years from now, when the Japs have long cleaned us out of Swordfish, you can sit at the bar, drunk out of your skull and tell the story:
" I had a 400 lb sword on for an epic battle until a giant Mako came in and ate his face off, and before I could drag him through the door, the ba$tard Mako bit him in the a$$. Saw the Mako swim away.... pickin his teeth with the bill and smiling."
You better keep these pictures somewhere, you can win a lot of beer bets at the bar with this tale.

OUTSTANDING STORY.

That is awesome. Must of been quite a night. Thanks for sharing.

Flatsfish B · 10-12-2006, 10:27 PM

Holllllllllly sheeeeeeeeeeeet! Nice work! If you had a jap/hard ball would you have tried for the mako? or maybe you did! Very nice work, still plenty of meat left!

Momentum · 10-12-2006, 11:05 PM

Can I have my hook back?

Thanks.

Boboe · 10-13-2006, 12:37 AM

Holy shitballs man! That's f'ing incredible.

Remember, there's always a bigger fish

Broadbill · 10-13-2006, 06:47 AM

Incredible! Pretty work boating him before the second attack!

Tide Machine:

Congratulations on getting such a grand fish in the boat. Seeing an XXL Mako all at the same time, and trying to take YOUR lunch must have been an amazing experience. Thanks for sharing your story!

Don't forget to come back, now.

Coño! That's a big swordfish. >-,---^,*>-----
