Hey Guys,

Check out the NEW ALABAMA STATE RECORD SWORDIE (448#)

All anglers need to be sure and report their killed only swordfish catches to NMFS so our quota's don't get cut. The PH# is on your Tuna Permits

Looks like they shot it with a 12 gauge!

Dug,

I can tell you this, I caught a Swordie on Labor day weekend around 175# on stand up, from a dead boat, and I was DAMM! ready for the gaff to get him. You could imagine how ready that angler was for them to put the BIG Marlin gaff to that one.
