Default Slob from Thurs nite

Congrats to my buddy Charlie on his first sword! He said he has waited his whole life to catch a fish like this. We hooked up off Hollywood on the 50.

WTG... what happened to the color on that pic? Did the size of the fish run the color out of everyone?

Congrats....

Bird Dog, I don't believe that fish was caught with buoy gear.

You're confused. Re-read the previous posts.

"No they didn't get them all but they got that one. Nice fish no mater how it was caught."

Snook....Bird Dog is stating above that they got that sword on buoy gear and I am saying they did not. I think he misread Arthur's post.

Maybe there's something I don't know.

Kinda tough to set buoy gear from a small center console.

Laters.

Nice sword! and like I said that Luis's baits are really effective for swordfishing. It's candy for them!! Ran to the Tuna grounds haven't spotted any Bluefins yet. Will be flying back next weekend to see if anything happens.
