I have been fishing every weekend and a couple days midweek all through July and I have been snake bit on the swordfish. I have lost 2 really big fish at the boat the last couple weeks. I was on the rod on a fish for 2 hours that was close to 300 pounds. Got two good jumps close to boat then she went deep and pulled the hook. Next trip had a 200 pound on and after an hour got it up to the weight and we had a mess. The fish had tangled the leader around the braid and weight. Tried to get weight off but she sounded. After another hour, got her up again and had to the weight off. I tried to hand line her in with a 75 foot leader. Got her about 30 feet from boat and she made a hard run and where the mono and braid was wrapped, it parted. Broke her off and had to watch it swim off. We have caught a few small dolphin and some tile fish. Got one ugly eel.

Just one of those days... looked beautiful out though. Eels are nasty critters although I do like eating them smoked at sushi joints.
