Swordfish??

Rene and Slim took out Kent Somner and his children aboard Utopia today and almost made the catch of the year. Kent had Utopia out for a Sunset Cruise last night and he mentioned that today he wanted to fish for something he could put on the dinner table. Since we haven't seen a Dorado in sometime, Tuna was what we were after. The boys headed out and hooked up on 4 nice yellowfin before they decided to stop biting. Later in the day, the boys spotted a Swordy on the surface. They tossed a live bait and actually hooked up to a swordfish!! You will have to excuse our enthusiasm but it is highly irregular to even hear or see a swordfish. The 200lb leader however was no match and the beast was off the line in a matter of minutes. Good stuff though.
