3/4 on Swords - May 8-9

[dn17]

Went out with Brandon on the ChaseThis on Tuesday & Wednesday this week. Daytimed Tuesday with no love, but the night bite was wide open. Released 2 fish around 50 pounds, next drift fought a good fish for 45 minutes and pulled the hook, and then on the 4th drift I got tight on a good sword and fought it for 2 hours 35 mins. 4 swords on 4 drifts, the big one went 223 on the scale at SSM. Had a bad accident while landing the fish and ended up with a harpoon dart in my shin, scary moments, but got it all taken care of and will live to fish another day.

Caught Brandon's report on 2cool .... dude that sucks to get hurt in the middle of the bite ...

Good to see the damage was what it was, and not worse ...... at least you have a scare and not the T-shirt

Nice, too bad on the leg but it will be a hell of a story for life. Well I guess you're now up to date on the tetanus vaccination.
