Anyone ever caught on of these? You want a fight, these things will give it to you... Never been so tired in my life, couldn't move my arms for a couple of days. Dam thing broke 50 spider like it was sewing thread...... a friend on the trip managed to snap this from the railing...... using a big black saltwater bucktail jig

charper1, I think you left something out, a pic or a description of the fish, or what ever it was!  Sound like you may have caught a submarine?

Sorry Paul! I took it for granted that fellow fishermen would recognize this as a sword fish. I tried to play him to the boat, but after about 2 hours, he got tired of it and snapped the line. After that, when I go offshore I use nothing less than 100 pound test.....

Nice catch!!....It looks more like an Atlantic Blue Marlin from the pic...not a Sword Fish...just my opinion from looking at the pic...Swords and Marlins are in the "Billfish Family"

and Sailfish...also in the "billfish" family

It was in the Atlantic, off the Keys... remember, I mentioned that it broke my 50 lb spiderwire like it was sewing thread. But thanks for the correction....never got it closer to the boat than that picture shows....

I give up! what picture?  You playing the gas-light game here?  Oh OK, now I see it, must have something to do with my PC at work, or the fire wall I'm behind.    Never Mind!
