my DAD'S CHERRY POPPER!!!!

this pic is special to me since I have been trying to get my best friend and my dad over to catch a sword forever now. Well with my graduation cerermony came a visit from my dad. We went one for one, had a 300+ swim through the light, and had a 50-60" free jump 5-10 feet from the boat. Also on the way out my dad caught a nice phine and my best friend caught his first phin.

Length: 45.5
Bait: dead tinker
Date: May 4th
Fight time: right to the boat
depth: 300 I think

Released with TAG!!!

heres one of my dad with his phine. I think this is the longest he has stayed up in 15 years

sworddoc · 05-13-2007, 07:49 AM

Happy early father's day for dad!
