| A few friends of mine who do some serious deep dropping got some photos of this swordfish while they were on a spot. He said the fish came right up to the boat and was about 12' from tip to tip...

That reminds me of how swordis would act down in Mazatlan, Mexico. We would circle them slow trolling a dead bait of some kind and almost always got a bite, I've never seen them on the surface during the day around here though. Thats awesome.

| Our shimano rep said he has seen a couple out there sunning at the spur in the past 15 years but has never caught one on the surface. Hood,how big was that one your mom caught down in Mazatlan? It was over 200 wasn't it?

Awesomw. Where was this?
It was around the Spur. They didn't have anything set up to catch it...

I was fishing in the Pensacola Int. Billfish Tournament last weekend and saw the same thing!!!! We trolled 3 times by it, it did'nt even move as we went right by it. We thought it was dead. The fourth time by, I threw a naked ballyhoo on a spin rod right in front of it, and it just swam lazily away. It was an awesome sight, it was lit up and had colors that were neon blue.

Chris, the one she caught was around 300 pounds. It gave her hell too. After fighting/wiring one around 350(pulled the hooks after 4 hours) I have a whole new respect for her.

We saw the same thing around the DoubleWings about two summers ago. There were four of them and we pitched large (5lb) Blue Runners, but they just sank away without showing interest. Very Very Cool none the less. Wish I had a camera that day, but these pictures can be my proof.

| I have seen that twice around the spur and they wouldn't eat anything live,dead it didn't matter.I came back and started reading about them and they say that they come to the surface to warm up in the sun it helps digest there food and warm there body after being very deep and cold.It is truly an awesome sight.
