That's not sad. I didn't fish the tournament, but think about it this way. Sure we see a lot of fish over 200, and some over 3 and 400, but in a regular night of swordfishing, a fish over 100 lbs. is a great fish. Some nights are better than others. It just happens to be the way it all works out. That's fishing.

A 129 pound fish is a great fish any night. We got a chance to release a fat little puppy that ate a squid on the 200 far line. He took a little line and then stopped. As I waited for the next move I saw the Electralume coming to the surface. Cranked down on him got tight and brought him boatside. Thats what Swording is all about. I have been out 7 times in a row and got skunked, but I have also been out 7 times in a row and found good fish each time. There is a lot of water out there. Congradulations to Rumblefish and everyone else that finished in the top.
