I expected the sea's to kick up after midnight so I got out boynton inlet at 5pm.

And headed for the ground's 2' turned into 4' fast! an hour later I stop at 1100'. Got two line's out! one with a red stick on the swivel and a small green strobe 2' from the bait set it at 300'.

The other line was a green at the swivel and set it at 100'. About 7:30 I was out at 1450'no hit's. It's was time to move back in I was using two new DAIWA'S power assist reel's I reeled the deep rig up to the boat then the other one.

As soon as I grabbed the red swivel it got hit I mist it! I new it was a sword it came right to the boat and then went right back to the same bait by then I had the rod in hand's and raedy.

It hit and I set up on it going the other way

fish on it started jumping like a sail what a fight! ten minute's later I had a nice 65LB.er in the boat. Iwas so lucky the hook had flipped around the bill and hooked the leader.I was gone it started blowing out of the N.W. about 20mph tooktwo hour's to get back too boynton.

the picture is my Grandson holding it.
