triplethreat1 · 10-04-2009, 05:08 PM

those dont even look legal

surfinsteve1 · 10-04-2009, 05:15 PM

way to small.

Capt. JJ · 10-04-2009, 05:49 PM

Pup almost got the guy in the balls. At least they didn't kill the thresher.

Uncle Buck · 10-04-2009, 06:00 PM

Over an hour and a half to bring in a pup?

They may not be the sharpest tools in the shed. Take a look at the other videos he posted. One shows a few dead baby tarpon and snook. Another shows 'em beating a 5ft hammerhead with a mallet.

The only thing that MIGHT make those swords legit, is that they may not have been fishing in US waters. Foreign accents and music leads me to believe that they're fishing under different regs. What's the minimum LJFL for swords in central or south american countries?

TTesterman · 10-04-2009, 06:22 PM

The post I saw this on says caught out of charleston, sc

HFS

The 3 should have been released. Just Pups.

IMO the largest looked like a short. I dont want to be judgmental but...... So YA Think he called them in too? If in US waters I don't think they know the size limits. They could have measured on video . Instead the does not look to good.

TT your right they could get by on one bag of ice
Think my house Cat would have reeled the fish in faster

Probably right - the name of the boat dealer (Hanckel Marine) on the trailer is in Charleston, SC. The name of the boat is Offshore Office.
