The whole winter is pretty awsome, usually the bigger fish show up in winter, but you never know with this fishery because this past Winter and Summer have been showing big fish.Originally Posted by SharkJP

Nice catch, it's great to see one with size like that. It seems we've been seeing a good number of swords this year in the mid atlantic however the feeling I get is that they are averaging about 65lbs and I wouldn't mind seeing the minimum size come up on them.
When I was in the Baltimore last week there were several longliners there all reporting multiple sword catches and I did hear of at least one with size. I hope we see this fish continue to come back.
EXTREMELY NICE. Ive been wanting to catch one of them for a while.
what class gear were you using on that one? 30?50?80?

50 wide Finore wrapped w/ 80 momoi. 18 pounds at strike, never had to push up the drag although at one point, I thought we weren't going to stop him but he settled and still jumped quite a bit.

WOW! Nice fish!
I too would like a little tech talk as I am also all ears. The commercial boys catch them here but nobody talks about it.
I'd like a shot in the dark at least
