Finally got me a sword...

...and a daytime sword to boot! What an awesome experience to reel up a fish from over a quarter mile down!!

Haha no, we were about 70 miles offshore. A bit of a pedal! On a side note, I got confirmation today that Im going to captain a boat for this year instead of running kayak fishing charters. Which is awesome since I just put $3k down on a pair of new 2015 Outbacks...

you are going to need a really big fish tank for that

Nice sword. Did you keep it?

 

[JD7.62]

It was harvested. You don't run 140+ miles total in one trip to let one go! Not to mention I wouldn't be brave enough to hold a live sword!

Are you gonna be operating out of Mobile or somewhere in 'Bama?? The reason I ask is that if I end up in Ocean Springs at all this summer I may want to wet a line or 2 offshore.

Out here kayak fishermen utilize a "mother ship" to ferry kayaks 30-40 miles offshore to fish for tuna. Do they do that at all down south?

Rob, I will be running charters out Pensacola and Destin, Fl. I will be running a 24ft Pathfinder, its an awesome bay/nearshore boat but its not something youd run out to swordfish/marlin grounds with. However mackerel, snapper, grouper etc will be in range offshore. And depending on the time of year we can target sailfish, blackfin tuna, mahi and tarpon.
