Captain Joe McGivern · 09-27-2007, 09:07 PM

Nick C · 09-27-2007, 09:11 PM

Marauder1 saw it I think.... He said it was a beast!
I heard Ken was in Lurker mode....

Captain Joe McGivern · 09-27-2007, 09:26 PM

Ken cant stay in lurker mode for long.

Nick C · 09-27-2007, 09:46 PM

They decided to give me the night off, plus i was having work done on the boat and they didnt finish in time. Hopefully they bite this weekend.

Congradulations. That is out standing!!! Now give us some details Cogz.

RiskTaker · 09-27-2007, 10:45 PM

Joe:

Don't believe everything you read on the internet. It may be true that we caught a 290# swordfish today, that measured 84 inches. And we were back in port with the sun still bothering us. But it was not easy, because I am beat and my hands are cramping up everytime I grab something.

Will try to do a post tomorrow along with a few pics. But cannot do it now.

Captain Joe McGivern · 09-27-2007, 10:53 PM

Mike,

Come on you know you want to post. Just dont make it a usualy RT Post, Just the pics and a few words that all we need

JahMussa · 09-27-2007, 11:11 PM

I saw the fish... It lwas so big that it scared Mia.

I want to see the picture of Ken's arm the next day. It looked ugly today and I'm sure it's gonna be purple tomorrow.

Congrats on a nice Daytime fish!

Captain Joe McGivern · 09-27-2007, 11:13 PM

I guess he is getting to old to tangle with these beasts Tek. Cant even put a lil 300lber in the boat with out hurting himself. Should have hit him with the bang stick Ken

Uncle Buck · 09-27-2007, 11:14 PM

Sounds like they were fishing sans-electric, eh?

EDIT... nevermind, I see the power cord in the photo.

CaptKen · 09-27-2007, 11:14 PM
