Default Your First Swordfish and Picture

Post up a picture of your first Swordfish.

First Swordfish trip resulted in a 70 1/2" fish. All three of us got to fight it which was pretty cool


This was my "first" fish I fought by myself that was released. First and only trip on my boat so far.


How about you?

First fish on our own.... FlatsfishB's first.


Many trips later, I got mine. 57". Think it was the 6 or 7th heaviest weighed in Drew's Summer Tournament that year
